Perhaps one of the most talked about films to ever come out of Macedonia after the Oscar nominated Before the Rain The Great Water will soon make its debut in US theaters. Needless to say when this film comes out on DVD...it better be a massive special edition. The film has already achieved a nearly cult status among Balkan critics.

Looks extraordinary. Neither the trailer nor the synopsis give much idea of what's actually going on, so it should make for a fascinating viewing experience.
That thing's just gorgeous ... was that a giant hamster wheel the kid was running in?
Yes, Todd that is what it looks like. I spoke with a friend of mine from Monaco that already saw the film and was very pleased. A true story of the horrors of communist Yugoslavia... before Tito turned his back on the Russians.
