Iztochni piesi (2009)
not interesting
I've read the other comments, and I will have to disappoint the Bulgarian audience, but this is not a work of a genius... maybe this movie is interesting and fresh in Bulgaria, but if you put it in perspective of contemporary East European cinema - it is not new, not fresh and I dare to say - it is not a good movie at all. It is painfully pretentious , non humorous, over-directed small boring movie. The cinematography is really bad, you actually don't see the faces of actors for at least half of the movie. And the shots, well, like from bad music MTV clips shot 20yrs ago. The actors are not bad ( RIP to main actor) - and only good part of the movie is relation between the Turkish girl and main guy. Everything else, well - bad as the rest of the movie. If I had to put it in one line: just skip it - overacted in overdirected boring movie
Svetat e golyam i spasenie debne otvsyakade (2008)
Vastly overrated, indeed!
I just saw "Eastern plays" (also Bulgarian movie) and was really disappointed and gave it really bad comment. But, this movie is even worse. It is just terrible copy of some Kusturica works, mixed with completely naive direction. I don't know if this director ever saw any movie that is done in 21st century. It is full of big words, fake artism and - well, maybe I am stupid, but this movie is about nothing. Movie is so pretentious, making audience burst into laughter aloud. Almost all the shots, dialogue, scenes were seen at least billion times in other, better movies. I can not believe somebody takes this movie serious. I saw the list of awards this movie received - and I just don't know what the other movies competing with this one were like. Anyway, I don't want to be a bore - skip this movie, you will save some money and more important, some time.

Beware - total waste of time!
I pity myself for going to cinema to see this movie. I regret every second I spent watching it. All the European "anti- Hollywood" critics should be punished with watching this movie 10 times in a row. The Selectors from Cannes Film Festival should also be punished with watching this movie 10 consecutive times. People in prisons are happy because they cannot see this movie even by chance. Just baaaaaaad film.... terrible... Ursula Meier = one bad, lousy director. I don't know what else to say to make you understand how bad it is. I pity the producers who gave the money to this project. I don't pity the distributors who bought this movie because they apparently have no idea what the audience would actually like to see in cinema.
Ljeto u zlatnoj dolini (2003)
Great movie!!!
I think this is a great movie. I watched it for the second time the other day and I liked it even better than before. I like the ability of the director to mix different genres very smoothly. The film starts as a social drama than turns into triller turns into love store and in the end turns into great action film. All that with great dose of humor. This is maybe the only Bosnian contemporary film that deals with present times, real people with real problems. And when it comes to depicting the reality of our society this film is literary unmatched. The actors are fine, cinematography is great, and fx scenes - yes, there are some scenes with fx in Bosnian movie - are fantastic. The only problem I have with the film is rhythm as from time to time from very fast scenes we go directly to very slow scenes and somewhere it doesn't work quite well. But, in the end, I hearty recommend it.
Sasvim licno (2005)
interesting!!
I like this movie. It is very original take on documentary genre, and also very interesting. Director/writer Nedzad Begovic made mockumentary about his own life so the main protagonists of the film are himself and his family. The film tends to be funny and most of the scenes are done to deliver some kind of joke in the end. It works for the most of the movie, but the scenes and the jokes get to "totaly personal" from time to time. That "parsonal" parts are hard to follow. The other remarks goes to the fact that movie have no consistent storyline that we follow. The film is rather a big pot of very different scenes. But, I have to say it works. I like the fact that film is done without crew, equipment, and the budget. Just filmmaker and his camera. And I guess sometimes it's all what it takes to make a movie... congratulations, great movie!
