Not many movies accomplish handling the miseries war brings, and not be gross. Well, this is one of them. But the beauty is not only in its portrayal of a meaningless fight: Before the Rain is a perfect textbook example for movies involving time cycles. It is really incredible what Manchevski achieves with this wartime drama. A heart-shattering tragedy, and the only way a human being can get away from (with) it, is a time slip. And time slips are so cruel, they never come our way.
