The Land Within

Watching this movie has been an extraordinary experience.

The capacity of the Director and the Actors to reproduce and involve the spectator in the structure of feelings that characterizes Kosovo in the aftermath of the atrocities of the conflict with Serbia is truly majestic.

The raw desolation and pain of the characters is not morbose though: instead they are poetically transfigurated through silences and short, cutting sentences.

It's a movie that goes beyond any simplification, beyond nationalistic polarizations.

It's Art that celebrates Life, inspiring hope and the potential for rebirth of the Human Spirit.
