Iztochni piesi

At first, I felt like I was watching some amateur movie with non-actors, after half an hour I started to feel like I was probably mistaken and watching a very high-quality Balkan film, but then the plot completely fell apart and somehow forgot, so my feelings are more than awkward. The screenplay terribly undercuts the whole movie, as if it had been written by more people, arguing about where they were heading, what they wanted to say, and in the end probably didn't say anything at all. I only take away that Bulgarians probably don't like Turks very much, that you can encounter aggressive idiots anywhere in the world, that I won't include Sofia in my list of desired destinations, and that at least I bow before the actor in the leading role, if he suffered pain during filming. It was probably my first or second Bulgarian film and it probably confirmed the fact that I don't really understand the Balkan world. (28.04.2014)
