Before the Rain
Пред дождот
1994 · Film · 113 min
Directed by Milcho Manchevski
The circularity of violence seen in a story that circles on itself. In Macedonia, during the war in Bosnia, Christians hunt an ethnic Albanian girl who may have murdered one of their own. A young monk who's taken a vow of silence offers her protection. In London, a photographic editor who's pregnant needs to talk it out with her estranged husband and chooses a toney restaurant.

Before The Rain about love and war in Macedonia. Amazing and impactful film.
Time of the Gypsies by Emir Kusturica - just go in cold to this, one of my favorite movies. Featuring musical score from the incomparable Gorman Bregovic.
Enemy by Villeneuve (or literally anything from this director; also check out the compelling Incendies, and Sicario of course; Prisoners is also amazing)
Literally pick any movie from Iranian director Asghar Farhadi. The Salesman is probably my favorite from him. Very impactful and each of his movies shows a compelling and unique slice of life.
missing Macedonian movies, like "before the rain"
Love the idea. I'll have to browse their lists and look for some new movies to watch.
I did notice North Macedonia is missing from the list so here are a couple of recommendations for amazing movies (imo) for those interested:
- Honeyland (2019, Oscar nominee, Documentary)
- Before the Rain (1994, Oscar nominee, Drama)
- Bal-Can-Can (2005, 2nd highest grossing)
- Secret Ingredient (2017, comedy)
