More Balkan stories of sorrow... How tense it can become from one day to another, from neighbor to enemy. Eyes red with vengeance and hate. A beautiful story by Manchevski and wonderful music and cast. Beautiful and sad.

Interesting enough, without ever straying into the "very good" arena. The circularity was a bit overdone, and it often threatened to lapse into cliche, but had enough nice directorial touches and subtlety to keep the attention.

random acts of violence marking the yugoslav wars splatter over three connected and very contrived mini-dramas. there are a large number of ridiculous romances, the music confuses evocation with cheap exoticism, and the endless use of circularity and repitition smacks of gimmickry rather than artistry. i suspect the overrating of this film is due to it being, in more than one way, the cinematic inauguration of the republic of macedonia.
