“Quite surely a masterpiece and one of the most strikingly original and beautiful films ever made. [Molba] is shot in the deepest blacks and almost blinding whites, tightly compressing its complex tale of love, hate, and revenge. . . . Abuladze has managed to convey the ‘epic’ quality of the piece [based on two poems by Vaza Psavela] by superb use of the harsh landscapes and the integration of the characters within the surroundings. . . . What one finally remembers about the film is not the story, the adventure, or the moments of tenderness, but the overwhelming images.”
