Jessica Kiang There is an old joke about a pious man stranded on a desert island. As he prays for divine deliverance, a ship arrives, but he sends it away, saying, “God will save me.” Ditto a helicopter and eventually a seaplane. The man dies, to his surprise, and when he gets to heaven, asks God why he did not save him. God replies, “Look, man, I sent a ship, a helicopter and a seaplane…” If the moral of this old chestnut were hewn from the craggy quarries of a benighted Georgian mining village, and carved in strikingly gorgeous black-and-white cinematography, it might look a little like “Citizen Saint,” Tinatin Kajrishvili’s somber, scabrous third film, in which a rural community refuses to accept a God who moves in anything but the most mysterious ways.
Departing from the low-key naturalism of her two prior features “Brides” and “Horizon,” here Kajrishvili moves into an overtly allegorical register, with Krum Rodriguez’s exceptional lensing bringing dystopian grandeur to the scrubby plains and rocky terrains of the remote Georgian countryside. The hillsides in this region are scarred with pit openings and dotted with rusting bulldozers, and there’s even a weatherbeaten iron monorail that delivers granite-faced workers deep into the bowels of the local mine. In a clearing on a Calvary-esque crag, there also stands silhouetted a rough-hewn wooden cross, on which the cruciform figure is that of a miner, in helmet and overalls. He is the local saint, watching over the town through petrified goggles, and each morning workers and villagers alike line up to troop around his feet and leave offerings. Above ground, the images are reminiscent of Bela Tarr or the particularly dolorous stretches of early Tarkovsky movies,

Yves Saint Laurent’s Rive Droit brand has come under fire for selling a range of Nirvana t-shirts with prices stretching into thousands of pounds.The reason for the high prices is that these t-shirts are all “vintage”, rather than being brand new creations. And some are seemingly rare, particularly one featuring the artwork from Nirvana’s ‘Incesticide’ compilation, which is selling for over £3000.Still, while old band t-shirts can fetch high prices, some have suggested that these ones have seen their price tags inflated considerably above their market value, simply for the privilege of buying them from a YSL store.Oh sure, you could buy a brand new t-shirt with the same design on it for fifteen quid, but does it have that lived in look and feel? No.

Marta Balaga Karlovy Vary Film Festival’s main competition section is about to witness a miracle thanks to Tinatin Kajrishvili’s third feature “Citizen Saint,” about small-town miners suddenly discovering that their protector has literally come down from the cross and into their lives. Kajrishvili, already known to festival audiences thanks to Berlinale titles “Brides” and “Horizon,” wasn’t trying to make a religious film, she states. She was more interested in the power of hope and the lengths most people will go in order to preserve it.“Georgians are very religious and one day, a guy appeared in my neighborhood, calling himself ‘Saint Nicolas.’ His followers found him an apartment, and they would just stand in front of his house, praying. Whenever he would open a window, or throw a tomato at them, they would just pick it up and consider it as a blessing,” recounts the director, who co-wrote the script with Basa Janikashvili.
