Movie Reviews of Dust
Movie Review: A film that rewards people curious enough to explore it.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's like this...I originally bought this movie because I had seen David Wenham in LotR, thought he was very nice looking, and got this film hoping for further opportunities to stare into his limpid blue eyes and gaze at his pout. What actually happened was that I was sucked into this movie on its own merits, and ended up very impressed with it. Some reviews say that it is difficult to follow - in my own estimation I reckon that the first time you watch this you take in most of the functional bits of information (and maybe marvel at the nice shots), but you will feel confused/cheated by the numerous un-subtitled speech that is included in the dialogue. My suggestion, watch the movie again with the DVD subtitles turned on. Suddenly, all the foreign language dialogue is revealed to you and you will a: see a whole different layer to the film that the director clearly intended only to reveal to people who were curious enough to translate all the languages being spoken, b: suddenly understand a couple of things you might not have done and c: appreciate your first viewing and the general confusion of the 'hero' in the midst of all this dialogue that he didn't understand. That doesn't mean you should watch it the first time around with subtitles. Please don't. I suspect that will spoil everything.
Summary: Very clever. Much respect to the director. A good film to watch if you like films that challenge you a bit.

Movie Review: REAL deal
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, obviously some of the people writing the reviews here don't know a thing about the history of the Balkan region, and most of them don't care, so they condemn the movie as a bad, bloody or nuisance, but in fact, this people have no clue what they are talking about.
I can say this movie is full of emotions, full of realistic facts and real scenes... As far as I can see some people asked where is the movie happening?!? I mean, c'mon... if you give this movie a chance to take you places, you should know where it's taking you: The great little country Macedonia. And if you want to see a part of Macedonian history from the turn of the century, well this is it, and it's as real as it gets, although there are things even more horrible than what is shown in this movie that the Ottoman Empire soldiers were doing to the people. So enjoy the agony (as some people called the horrific scenes) and learn from the history...
I would say you need to watch this movie not with a bag of popcorn in your lap, nor with a bunch of buddies around trying to make themselves interesting, you need to see this movie with an open mind.
Movie Review: A story that touches your soul
Summary: 5 Stars
Every now and then there is a movie that is beyond evaluation. There is no logical reason why this film should have such an impact but it does. You are part of the story with out even realizing it until the credits roll by at the end. Than all you can do is sit there.
A dying old lady dying in today's world tells a tail of two brothers in the old west who cross paths and purposes as in most families. We have love, and bullies, and wars. What seems like a fantastic tail that intrigues the listener turns out to be more real than he imagined. Now the listener is on a mission part of which is to carry on the story. And you must carry it from there.

Movie Review: A movie that tells the truth
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is fantastic, espicially the scens that are set in Macedonia. I will however admit that the scenes in america were a bit boring however i still think this is a fantastic purchase.This movie tells the story of a macedonian village that is being over run by gheg albanians, then the greeks try to take it but the ottamen turks later on show up and eventually control all of macedonia.
I am glad that this movie showed how albanian ghegs really do act, like savage brutes who rape litle boys and goats. The albanians are the scruffy looking people in white, while the greeks are portrayed as money hungry mercenaris who will sell out to anybody for the right price. They are the people in black uniforms.
A good movie that is certainly worth your time.
Movie Review: Real to the fullest extent
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never seen a battle in a movie presented so real. People didn't just get shot and die, but they screamed in agony and and shook on the dusty land. Their taut faces reflected the fear of death. Watching those scenes was simply perplexing, however, it reminded me that it has actually happened and still happening somewhere in the world.Manchevski doesn't deviate from his intention-to ridicule human's greed and lust for something material. Macedonian Orthodox priest on the same table with Turk soldiers, foreigners scrambling the destiny of the people, an old woman changing the story as she pleases...it all has meaning and reason.
This movie deserves more then five stars for the very fact that it is a masterpiece looking from every aspect of it.
