Georgian writer-director Ana Urushadze’s film, “Supporting Role,” follows a fading movie star through the streets of Tbilisi. The film, described as reminiscent of director Jim Jarmusch’s work, focuses on the existential wandering of its protagonist.
The second feature from Urushadze centers on Niaz, a “lumbering Georgian movie star whose glory days are behind him.” The film portrays a nocturnal journey through the city, creating a “mesmerizing effect” according to reviewers.
“Supporting Role” is noted for its style, which evokes the atmosphere of older films by Jarmusch, characterized by “existential wandering and weird” encounters. The film explores the life of Niaz as he navigates a period following the peak of his career.
