Concept T shirts Reviews

I admit it, I’m not up on Armenian cinema. Here though is a great film set in post-Soviet Armenia. The landscapes are cold, snowy and inspiring - the poverty is brutal and unremitting. The extreme temperatures exacerbate the horrors that the people have to endure, yet the film is lyrical and upbeat. What happens?  Not a lot - this is not for action movie fans. Two pensioners realise they can be happier with each other than their memories of former partners.
As their hearts change so the snow that covers everything starts to melt.  We leave with a sense of success, that people can make a difference and can change for the better. As a snapshot of a different, almost unimaginable life this is well-worth seeing. Almost documentary in its photography, Vodka Lemon deserves all the plaudits it has received.

Enjoy!
