What Do We See When We Look At The Sky is frankly a revelation, a film so distinct in its formal arrangements and cinematic language that it manages to evince the overwhelming beauty in the day-to-day moments we often perceive to be mundane. Achieving transcendence through an ontological approach rooted in these small exchanges, interactions, and observations that alone seem minuscule but when strung together make up living and experience, What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? is just remarkable, a beautiful evocation of life. Community, connection, sharing the same spatiality yet often being worlds apart, what Koberidze crafts here is a peculiar love story between two individuals that transcends the boundaries of personal experience to become elemental, existential, and ultimately optimistic about humanity despite all the pain and injustice throughout the world. Koberidze is honest about the ephemeral nature of exchange, interaction, and perception in modernity, and what What Do We See When We Look At The Sky so beautifully expresses is how we as individuals are malleable entities that are constantly evolving, adjusting, and reconfiguring. Small interactions of kindness, affection, or love may seem small or insignificant when viewed through the prism of atrocities that continue to occur throughout the world, yet our salvation begins with our ability to recognize how little control any of us have over collective humanity. We are not in control and that's ok yet what Koberidze astutely expresses with What Do We See When We Look At The Sky is a reminder that if we all attempt to see the beauty and miracle that is life, if we embrace the moments of spontaneity and intrinsic anarchy of living, perhaps someday the human atrocities will reside and all that will be left is love between our fellow man.
