Bulgaria

Pretty good attempt to create a hip, hyper-violent prison thriller...lots of interesting camera work, framing and editing. But...somehow...it didn't quite work. The film and its characters were so stylized that they never came to life. In this case the form with which it was presented buried any humanity there might have been in the story.

Too bad...a lot of care went into this film. Could this herald the start of a Bulgarian film renaissance?
