Diada

I wasn't expecting much of this film. I just chose it as I thought appropriate to watch with my teen son... Just a warning: it is not for the faint-hearted, so think twice if you watch with under 18.

I am not sure what a non-Bulgarian audience can grasp from the dialogue - there are so many cultural elements, but even without them, the story is captivating and heart-breaking beyond geographical boundaries.

There are many strong scenes in the film, but the last two scenes will stay in my mind for years. A good film makes me wake up with the thought about the story I saw the previous night. This one is definitely this type of film. I am even writing this review as art films usually don't get high score here as many viewers will put plainly 1 or 2. And this is OK. As this film is not for the Hollywood/Netflix light film lovers.
