  The first film made in the newly independent Republic of Macedonia Milcho Manchevski's Before the Rain crosscuts the stories of an orthodox Christian monk a British photo agent (Katrin Cartlidge) and a native Macedonian war photographer to paint a portrait of simmering ethnic and religious hatred about to reach its boiling point. Made during the strife of the war-torn Balkan states in the nineties this gripping triptych of love and violence is also a timeless evocation of the loss of pastoral innocence and remains one of recent cinema's most powerful laments on the futility of war.
