Then I remembered Sakharov and quitted this idea as well,” famous Georgian filmmaker Otar Iosseliani said in Yerevan. Movies should be understood without words, because movie is not a circus. The most important things are music and the action. His first feature-length film, "Falling Leaves," won the FIPRESCI prize at the1966 Cannes Film Festival.
