An exhilirating romantic romp, that deserves wider international screen

I already had a passion for Georgian food (yes, if you haven't experienced it, it is a phenomenal, vibrant whole cuisine unto itself, in between Turkish and Persian but with more than both) when I dragged my bride to this film at the Seattle International Film Festival. She was dubious as always. By the end of the movie we'd had more fun than any single evening in a long time. And she was even more in love with me for taking her to it. What a ride it was!

It seems like a movie this exhilirating and affecting should get the full Crouching Tiger treatment, with some indie/boutique great/studio/mogul picking it up and championing it to international reknown.

But: It's 8 years old, the director hasn't been connected to cool American indies, and it has a (wonderful, light and tragic at the same time) "European sensibility."

I really liked this movie. It was really cute. I wish it was on dvd so I could share it with friends. I would love to go to Georgia some day. The food looked great. Spoilers I will have more respect for crow. I never new it made you sick if you ate them.
