About This Movie

So, 'Skopje's Dreams' is this intriguing drama set in the summer of '63, right before the devastating earthquake hit. It really captures the vibe of Skopje—there's this palpable tension, you know? The pacing is a bit slow, but it builds this haunting atmosphere that feels authentic to the era. The performances are pretty solid, especially in how they convey the everyday struggles of the characters. There's a sense of impending doom that lingers throughout, which makes it distinctive. The practical effects aren’t flashy, but they work well in immersing you in that time and place. It’s more about human connection in the face of catastrophe, rather than just the disaster itself.
