Our take

An elliptical tale of love and memory, this beautiful debut from Tamar Shavgulidze captures the pangs of a lost Eden in long, contemplative takes. Delicately shot in the pastel hues of a languid Georgian summer, Comets is a tender, cosmically-charged ode to the hesitant blush of young romance.
