The astonishing life of Wachtang Botso Korisheli - Georgian musician, sculptor, and beloved teacher to generations.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
The New York Times by Anita Gates
With enough tragic-restorative plot twists for a 12-hour mini-series, Botso is an enchanting film for two reasons: Mr. Korisheli’s humanity is magnetic, and no more beautiful case could be made for the psychological healing power of making music.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Botso is a deserving homage to a life well lived.
Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein
Walters engagingly captures Botso teaching music, sculpting, conducting, spending time with his wife and young daughters and even traveling back to his Georgian hometown of Tbilisi. The energy, dedication, kindness and optimism he displays are truly infectious.
Village Voice by Michael Nordine
Too bad the filmmaking never rises to the level of its subject.
