Chasing Butterflies

In a quiet French village bursting with châteaux and devoted to music (despite everyone apparently being tone-deaf), riding, selling off the antique furniture and putting up with Hare Krishna folk, two elderly women are determined to hang on to their family home, despite interest from Japanese hoteliers. Then time takes its toll… Another enormously charming, melancholic-comic meditation on changes in the modern world, with Iosseliani turning up as a friendly phantom and a nice brief interlude in argumentative Georgia. Cherishably idiosyncratic.
