Review: ‘Crossing’ Traverses Borders and Boundaries

Crossing, the moving new film from Levan Akin, writer/director of the much loved And Then We Danced, opens with a woman known to all as Miss Lia (Mzia Arbuli) striding by the beach outside the Georgian town of Batsumi, along the Black Sea. A retired history teacher, she appears to be heading somewhere specific, but Lia will turn out to be a woman who always walks with purpose, even when completely out of her depth, as she is now. A moment later, she’s spotted by a former student, a surly fellow who’s just been haranguing his half-brother, the 18-ish Achi (Lucas Kankava). Lia says she’s looking for the current location of a niece who had been living in a nearby cottage. Her mother, Lia’s sister, has just died; Lia promised to find her child and bring her home. 

 

"She calls herself … Tekla,” Lia says hesitantly, as if she’s never said the name aloud before...

Getting to Yes with ‘Yessongs’

Greg Whelan of New Jersey rockers Aeon Station, as well as the Wrens, told us about his love for a live Yes classic.
