Monday Morning

A film in which a series of mundane and/or mildly humorous things happen without adding up to much of consequence either way, comparable to a lesser Kaurismaki or a subtler Tati, but without the distinctive visual sensibility of either (i found it sort of plain bordering on dull). Still, as far as contemplative minimalism goes, i'll take this brand of understated whimsy over ponderous miserablism any day. Could have used more of the teenage couple though.

"Monday Morning is Otar Iosseliani's unmistakable homage to Jacques Tati." - Ed Gonzalez
