Review of Before the Rain

8/10
You cannot understand before you see it [2]

This story marks the essence of what's happened in Balkans (former Yugoslavia) in past few years, and especially the circular plot of the movie is very significant. I was really shocked with certain moments of this film!

There's more lines in the plot - the story of native war photographer living in London, who wants to return to homeland - the movie itself starts with some kind of Romeo and Juliet war story - there's also a harsh killing scene in London restaurant, which is made by one of war radicals - very funny shot is that, when the UN inspection car stops at the hill far before the village, and after moment it returns back, while the village is guarded and divided by it's armed citizens - and maybe one missed telephone call could warn Alexander, who just returns to his birth village, and stop it all...

After some moments the lines of this more complex movie cut through and the circle of violence comes to its finale. But we're just on the beginning chronologically, so it seems everything is just starting again...
