📽 From 12.04 to 17.04 at Cinemaholics Tbilisi – “The Holdovers” (dir. Alexander Payne, 2023)
From acclaimed director Alexander Payne, The Holdovers follows a curmudgeonly instructor at a New England prep school who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go.
Eventually he forms an unlikely bond with one of them – a damaged, brainy troublemaker – and with the school’s head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam. The film is full of humor, underlying pain and strange hope, that even behind people who are insufferable, there is something we might love or at least, feel sorry for.
