by Stephen_Murray  in Movies,  - Top 100, Feb 16 '09
Pros: Manuel Teran's cinematography
Cons: might seem slow, but pay attention!
Preface I don't know why it took me so long to get around to watching "Before the Rain" (Pred dozhdot), a 1995 Oscar nominee for best foreign-language film (it lost to Nikita Mikhalkov's "Burnt by the Sun," which I have, but also have not gotten ...

Pros: Interesting elliptical narrative structure; gorgeous Macedonian vistas; strong themes; excellent performances
Cons: Some viewers will find the film confusing or slow by Hollywood standards
Milcho Manchevski's debut film is almost certainly the best ever to emerge from the fledging country of Macedonia but arguably also the best to come out of any part of the Balkans, though some film lovers will prefer such Serbian fare as ...

Pros: Brilliant piece of cinema, great acting, compelling story-line
Cons: None that matter
Between 1994 and 1997, world cinema had reached, in terms of quality, its highest peak since the 1970s. It was a thrilling time to go to the movies; you would have to be capable of a great deal of hateful cynicism to ignore that and still call yourself...

Pros: Great acting, writing, setting, structure, theme, statement...everything!
Cons: Scenes in London are less powerful than those in Macedonia
This is another in the long chain of "cool things my dad has shown me". It's a foreign film, made in 1994, reviewed well by a number of critics, including Roger Ebert, nominated for a Best Foreign Film Oscar, but, as a foreign film that...

Pros: Good view of a war few of us understand (as in 5 generations old!)
Cons: A bit muddled and a bit slow...
Here's another film that was filled with terrific reviews, both on the box and from fellow Epinioners...can't lose, I thought. So I approached this with a fairly open mind, ready to learn about the war in Yugoslavia and why a friendly neighbor can...

Pros: You will be breathless. Maybe you'll cry. Maybe you'll rejoice. But you'll definitely FEEL.
Cons: NONE
Compelling, orgasmically beautiful, left me in trance for weeks. Extraordinary film for those who aren't afraid to feel. And for those who question art and who question war.
This movie is fantastic and heavy at the same time. You will never...

by nellarlick , Apr 14 '01
Pros: 1st act- music, cinematography
Cons: 2nd act and on
I had high expectations for this film when I rented it and maybe that was my first mistake because these expectations were seriously disappointed. The film opens with a new age type of music that sets the scene in this troubled Albanian environment. In...
