Before the Rain (1994) 


Friday 7 p.m., September 30, 2016
Stanley Coulter Hall, Room 239


Director: Milcho Manchevski
Origin: Republic of Macedonia | France | UK
Language: Macedonian | English | Albanian | French
Running time: 115 min

The circularity of violence seen in a story that circles on itself. In Republic of Macedonia, during war in Bosnia, Christians hunt an ethnic Albanian girl who may have murdered one of their own. A young monk who's taken a vow of silence offers her protection. In London, a photographic editor who's pregnant needs to talk it out with her estranged husband and chooses a toney restaurant. She wants permanence with her lover, a prize-winning Macedonian photographer just back from Bosnia, changed by the violence. He leaves abruptly for his village; he's not visited it in 16 years. There he tries to ignore bitter divisions between his Orthodox brethren and local Albanians, then tries to transcend them.Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>
