Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

this movie is an important stepping stone in the history of macedonian cinema and it should be viewed as such. some of the scenes may seem strange both to people from the west and to people of the year 2003, but it's understandable as the setting for the movie is set in a time and place, which seem stranger with each passing day. that said, it's still a very well-made reminder that the human will knows no boundaries and no political regimes. 9/10
