Repentance

the long version

"Tengiz Abuladze's allegorical work Repentance, made in Soviet Georgia, is the best know film of the perestroika and glasnost years. Due to its provocative depiction of the Stalin era and Stalin's place in the Soviet psyche, Repentance was originally shelved but ultimately released in 1986 to widespread popular and critical acclaim." "This Kinofile investigates the production, context and critical reception of the film and provides an analysis of the film itself and its place in world cinema."--BOOK JACKET.
