Dir: Milcho Manchevski / Macedonia
Beauty and Brutality
"This is not a movie about the war..."says Milcho Manchevski, Macedonian Director; but "about human experience.. " similar sentiments is also reflected by Rade Serbedzija who plays the Character Alexander, the famed photographer who lives in London, decided to return to Macedonia to help or even hoping improve the things on his mother land.. Beauty and Brutality are part of the Balkan history, conflict is a house hold concept, ethnic divides, long aged hatreds, family feuds are all part of same pastoral landscape. Before the rain tells the story of those people and the region without questioning the why's and how's, it is a gentle treatment of a brutal experience, past and present. Alexander still believes that there is hope for betterment of human life..
a good smack for each senseless act...
Cousin:stop cousin? stop...
stop or I shoot you....
Alexander:shoot cousin, go ahead and shoot....
