Before the Rain (1994)
Directed by Milcho Manchevski
The circularity of violence seen in a story that circles on itself. In Macedonia, during the war in Bosnia, Christians hunt an ethnic Albanian girl who may have murdered one of their own. A young monk who's taken a vow of silence offers her protection. In London, a photographic editor who's pregnant needs to talk it out with her estranged husband and chooses a toney restaurant.

What critics compared Before the Rain to

This movie, a triptych whose overlapping structure is reminiscent of such movies as "Pulp Fiction," "Before the Rain" and "Winter Sleepers," is definitely fierce and most definitely human.
