Summary
Before the Rain is a powerful drama from Macedonian filmmaker Milcho Manchevski, released in 1994. The film presents a stark and unflinching portrait of the ethnic and religious hatred simmering in Macedonia during the early 1990s, as Yugoslavia began to fragment. It's structured as a triptych, with each section focusing on different characters: an orthodox Christian monk, Father Petre; a British photo agent, Alex; and a native Macedonian war photographer, Zoran.
Through these interconnected stories, Before the Rain explores themes of love, violence, innocence lost, and the senselessness of war. It's notable for its non-linear narrative structure and poetic cinematography, which help to convey the film's haunting atmosphere. Despite being set against a specific historical backdrop, the film offers a universal message about the destructive potential of hatred and intolerance.
