Late Marriage

I’ve been watching films that star Pam Grier and Halle Berry lately. I’ve quite the collection of the two actresses. I recently watched, The Rich Man’s Wife and Executive Decision.

Before that I watched a foreign film called Late Marriage.

It is the story of a man that is 31 years old and has yet to be married. His family pimps him out to all of the eligible single ladies that his family can find. One of the reasons he is still single is that he’s having a sexual relationship with a woman he believes he loves. The woman has been married before and has a young daughter. The man’s parents and family members are totally against there relationship.
Their traditions blacklist the woman and after the entire family confronts the woman, she is forbidden to see the man again.

The film has some funny moments that life brings in some of the most difficult times.
The confrontations on all accounts are interesting. There is a scene between the father and son in the bathroom that is funny and yet disturbing at the same time.

It’s interesting how cultures do things, but people who like to keep tradition think along the same lines. A woman with kids who isn’t married is frowned upon unless she has money and doesn’t need a man to take care of her. She still gets talked about, but there is some admiration for how she keeps things together.

If you love movies this is an interesting film to see. Most foreign films lose something in the translation, but they are still worth a look. If you don’t like reading subtitles then you may want to stay away from this one. The film is in Georgian and Hebrew. It was written and directed by Dover Kosashvili.

Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.
