Les Favoris de la lune (1984)
Directed by Otar Iosseliani

Crime / Drama
aka: Favourites of the Moon

Film Synopsis

A nude portrait and a valuable set of chinaware are passed between a disparate array of individuals whose only common characteristic is an insane love of wealth.  From crooks to beggars, art dealers to professors, prostitutes to policemen, all seem blind to the intrinsic value of the objects that pass through their hands.
