Product Description

"GOODBYE 20th CENTURY" unfolds during three periods of time - it begins in post-apocalyptic 2019, continues 100 years earlier, and ends on December 31st, 1999, the last night of our time... It is 2019, after global destruction and descent into savagery. The immortal Kuzman, overburdened by the sins of incestuous love, tries to discover his destiny in order to learn how to die. As he enters the whirling cycles of time, we discover the blasphemy of our century - and how it is to close its' circle... The merry Santa Claus 2000, whose rage destroys our world, who condemns those still alive to immortal life, will engulf us all into oblivion. This is a film of a generation which has grown up and lives at the threshold of a war that neither begins nor ends... Directed by Aleksander Popovski and Darko Mitrevski from their own compilation of childhood myths, and set amidst the confusing background of time turmoil, mixed styles, opulent imagery and deliberate quotations, "GOODBYE 20th CENTURY" is a visionary tale which condemns the decayed century to a very scary death.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant apocalyptic fantasy, October 24, 2000

By	P. Hall "Dewi Morgan" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

From Macedonia comes this brilliant apocalyptic fantasy spanning three eras: a post-World War III wasteland where a blasphemer is condemned to eternal life, a 1900 street scene photographed by the nascent movie cameras which finds the first wedding and the first murder captured on film, and New Year's Eve 1999 with a solemn wake disrupted by a psychotic Santa Claus. Macedonia's entry for the 1998 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, this is a powerfully jolting work of art and fun.
