    Looks interesting...I just hate how they use 50 different languages...they do it all the time. It makes it hard to watch.
    If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

    The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations...This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution. John Adams

      Interesting concept, seems like kind of a western film based in Macedonia. Any idea on the release date?

        "A film by Oscar nominee director Stole Popov"

        Now, that is a trailer that starts with a lie.

          Really? You seem to run to Wikipedia all the time, but for some reason, this time, you didn't; or you did, but chose not to believe it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dae_%28film%29

            FUCK LIFE IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO DIE FOR IT

            Plot outline
            “This is a story from the Wild East”. Macedonia, a small country in the heart of the Balkans, is five hundred years under the Turkish yoke. The action takes place in the bloody post-revolutionary period after 1903, more precisely in the first decade of the 20th century. “To the Hilt” is a love quadrangle between a cruel though romantic rebel, a merciless naturalized Turkish officer, an educated wealthy father’s son and a lucid, spoiled but avantgarde European woman who wants to have three of them wrapped around her little finger. With the typical Balkans paradox lifted up to the level of the undisputed philosophical maxima: “Fuck life if you are not ready to die for it”. This is a film about the dialectical encounter between the myths and the anti-myths, a film in which legends and storytelling face the ongoing reality of the cruel life through. The film unveils a harsh though romantic story in which the eternal Macedonian cause for own identity and independence is seen from the angle of illusion and relativity of freedom, justice, love, happiness, sacrifice, frauds and treason. All experienced with catharsis that rises up to the hilt. To be more precise, all of the action is marked Macedonian history full of super historical absurd. It’s an Anti Western, a counterpart of the traditional American Western or something we can freely call Macedonian Eastern. This film breaks down the barriers of the space where western and eastern civilization have intertwined for centuries.

            Stole Popov

              This looks actually pretty cool. Im sick of these balkan (and especially macedonian movies) that take them selves too hard and try too hard. Im thinking of movies like 'before the rain" which i think are over rated.

              Actually, this movie reminds me of "Dust" in some ways but hopefully it will be better. "Dust" had a lot of promise and the setting was great (ottoman macedonia) but again the director tried to hard to make it very artsy and the thing fell apart

              I personally think that settings like european ottoman empire (especially macedonia) are untapped potential for some good war movies for hollywood to make btw

                  Even if that (marginally) makes him an "Oscar nominee director", that's pretty good and I stand corrected. Sorry, Stole.

                  "Before the Rain" is your only film that I have seen and I thought it was excellent, a near masterpiece. You should be very-very proud of it! I have probably seen more than 10 Yugoslavian films (mostly Serbian/Bosnian) and a couple of Bulgarian ones. Nothing Albanian yet.

                  "I Am from Titov Veles" is also in my watch list, and I may see it in the next weeks.

                    I liked the movie.

                          Anyone know where to watch it or obtain it with English subtitles?
                          I know of two tragic histories in the world- that of Ireland, and that of Macedonia. Both of them have been deprived and tormented.

                            The full movie is on Youtube, it's in Macedonian subtitles though.

                            Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

                              Yeah I saw that. Would like to watch it first in English subtitles and then a second viewing without them as I don't know the language well.
