beatnik-4 Review of Before the Rain

Before the Rain (1994)

masterful plot and execution

[10/10 · 10 May 1999]

This for my money is one of the best films of the last ten years. The plot does a wonderful job of starting and ending in the same place, a device Pulp Fiction stole and did less well. Essential for anyone who wants to understand the conflict between Orthodox and Muslim cultures in the Balkans and anyone who simply enjoys a finely crafted film.
