Review of Dede

Dede (2017)
10/10
Amazingly good shot movie from and with people from Svaneti
4 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Beautiful shot and moving storyline of Dina, a young woman living in Ushguli, Georgia who decide to be the master of her own fate by challenging tradition.

The movie is based of actual events and is beautifully shot in Ushguli/Svaneti, Georgia. It's not so much about how much of the story or traditions are depicted accurately but more about how traditions can change for the better and how people or in this case one woman is the moving force of this.

What I like about this movie is that it critically portrays how people often hide behind traditions to get what they want but at the same time how exactly this hiding and reinforcing of traditions on people can have bitter and tragic consequences.

Will watch it again.
