Review of Eastern Plays (2009) by Tor M — 04 Mar 2013
Floating film with heart in the city of Sofia where everyone just excist, they drift around. You can tell that there is a sad place and time these people live in - at least that's the status for our leads. No happy people here, really. This is quite dark, but stil very humane.
An atmospheric piece with fitting music - I like this feature a lot. It's never boring, the pace is fine and things seem to happen all the time. Great acting and a great theme or themes. It seem like a very honest film, and it's a well made film. A bit boring at times, but it got it's tenser moments - you know that spooky feel you get when things are about happen? It's often present here.
A very nice feature-length debut from the young director and there's also some cool, but sad, trivia here about the lead. He used his home, apartment and own art in this film, and sadly he died from an overdose straight after the wrapping of the film. Overlooked film that is worth a shot.
