Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Good movie but grossly overrated
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
This movie is a long, painful description of a horror-labor-camp on Balkan. The idea with this movie, is however very hard for me to understand. There is nothing in the story that leads it on to somewhere. It just stands still without a (obvious) purpose. The scenes are not very interesting, since they mostly are the same, and even though the situation actually changes a bit, nothing interesting happens. I might have missed something here, but it must have been quite a lot I missed, in that case, cause this movie is not worth seeing. Unless it has some semi-documentary value, it can be thrown away, if you ask me. Do not see it.
This movie made from a wonderful book with the same name(Black Seed)give us a look of how were treated the Macedonian prisoners in the Greek Civil War after the World War 2.it is beautiful because it is so real,and the public could feel the exodus of those people.the director himself didn't want to include a music in the film so the only sound that we could hear in all of in is rolling of the stones.the film won the Grand Prix at Pula Festival in Croatia and the director was named as one of the young directors who could give a great hope to the Macedonian and Europe Cinematography,but he only made four movies.For the end I would like to mention all the roles in the movies(especially the main one)are marvelous and some of them have been awarded at different Film Festivals.
how come this movie has not as many as 5 voters when it is 10 times better than anything sodherberg has done? well, probably because of the lousy distribution and the fact that it is Macedonian (maybe it's the same thing). however, this movie has been made out of a brilliant book, without any greater disturbances and it is worth the time you will spend with it. i don't believe that anybody will read this review, but if there is someone like that, consider that it was nominated for an oscar.
It's 1946. Civil war in Greece is just over. Communists, the leaders of the resistance, are defeated. The winning forces and the new authorities are settling accounts with the enemies - communists. They are closing them into concentration camps. One of the camps is on stone island with no water and plants where the cruel sun is burning the ground. Between campers are also three Macedonians. Not the best Macedonian movie but still worth of looking.
