Otar Iosseliani, le merle siffleur
2006 Β· β 5
Georgian director Otar Iosseliani prepares his film Jardins en Automne.

The constant and hilarious arguments with the producer, Martine Marignac, a Michel Piccoli transformed into an old woman, and the director's peculiar filming system, in which he signals his actors to start with a whistle, paint a picture of one of the most unclassifiable cinematic experiences in contemporary cinema.
