'Mothers', Milcho

Sound like a RHCP album??? :-)

Well, it's not. No, this is the latest film by celebrated Macedonian filmmaker Milcho Manchevski (Before the Rain, 1994). This week he spoke in a press conference at the 2011 Belgrade International Film Festival about his new film 'Mothers' (2010), which premiered at the 2011 Berlinale.

I havent seen the film yet but there is a fantastic in depth article on 'Mothers' below:

"MOTHERS begins with fiction, indeed with the fabrication of a lie, moves on to an attempt at the fabrication of a myth and ends in the shattering imagery of the real, where no fabrication is possible. Lying below the surface of all the episodes is a small web of fibs and betrayals, minor on the whole, but gaining an awful power in the final act, where a man respected by the community turns out to have deceived them all. There is no easy reading of Mothers, only a need for us to work with the filmmaker to uncover its many meanings."... read more of this article here: http://www.manchevski.com/docs/Mothers_Press_Kit.pdf
