TheOtherMe review: This Tbilisi-shot, English-language drama about a man going blind mixes equally off-key real-world and fantasy elements
has been a musician, a documentarian and Caucasus regional director of the Transcendental Meditation-focused David Lynch Foundation. Yet none of those things has any obvious bearing on, or makes much sense of, his debut directorial feature—apart from Lynch being on board as a prominently billed executive producer.as a man whose sudden-onset blindness is sometimes literal, sometimes metaphorical, sometimes both.
After one such spat, he falls asleep on a bus, waking at its route endpoint in the countryside. There, he meets a mystery woman , telling her, “I’m a bartender, but really my passion is architecture.” She says she believes in his talent. This triggers some abortive making out, after which he muses, “I don’t even know your name.” “I don’t have a name,” she responds with a poker face that would inspire awe if Pejic had any other expressions on hand.
We are presumably meant to see Sturgess’ character as a frustrated great artist — but we never see his art, or even hear his supposedly original ideas about it. Histrionic scenes come out of nowhere, as when the mystery woman throws an angry fit over the old handbag of the hero’s mother , or he seemingly can’t identify his own BFF’s voice in the next room.
