Review of Before the Rain (1994) by Nate G — 12 Apr 2012
Perhaps, being an American and vastly removed from the issues presented in this film, my viewing experience was understated. However, from my own perspective, I found Before the Rain to be quite disappointing.
While some of the characters were intriguing, and the acting performances moderately well played, the script just did not provoke the sort of emotion that I think was meant. This wasn't helped much by a fairly bland score.
I liked some of the visuals of the landscape of Macedonia, which took on a character of it's own, but I feel like this film could have used more of it. The environment was by far the most affective aspect of this film, and I'm not sure the director took full advantage of that.
All in all, this movie was pretty good, but fairly forgettable, for me.
