North Macedonia’s Oscar© 2020 Entry for Best International Feature: ‘Willow’ by Milcho Manchevski

I watched Willow since I loved Manchevski’s Before the Rain which won the Golden Lion at Venice, an Independent Spirit Award and an Oscar nomination in 1995. And of course because it is North Macedonia’s submission for Oscar consideration. Manchevski has such a cinematic sense and his primary preoccupation, about how things come back to haunt us again through the ages is always fascinating.
