Description The first film made in the newly independent Republic of Macedonia, Milcho ManchevskiÒs Before the Rain crosscuts the stories of an orthodox Christian monk (Gr?goire Colin), a British photo agent (Katrin Cartlidge), and a native Macedonian war photographer (Rade ?erbed?ija) to paint a portrait of simmering, entrenched ethnic and religious hatred about to reach its boiling point. Made during the strife of the war-torn Balkan states in the nineties, this gripping triptych of love and violence is also a timeless evocation of the loss of pastoral innocence, and remains one of recent cinemaÒs most poetic evocations of the futility of war.
