Before the Rain 1994 N/R, 115 min. Genre: Drama
Director: Milcho Manchevski Cast: Katrin Cartlidge, Rade Serbedzija, Gregoire Colin, Labina Mitevska, Jay Villiers, Silvija Stojanovska, Phyllida Law, Josif Josifovski, Kiro Ristevski, Petar Mircevski, Ljupco Bresliski, Igor Madzirov, Ilko Stefanovski, Suzana Kirandziska, Katerina Kocevska
Three episodes link together showing hatred, violence, and war. The story centers on the civil wars that Macedonia has endured and is told from the point of view of three different characters. The effect is stunning as events are not in chronological order, and the viewer must put puzzle pieces together. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.
