Vazvishenie

I love the way this movie made me feel! I don't understand much about voice and sound or genre characteristics, but I do know when I see a great movie! Drama, Comedy, History, Satire etc..It is everything. Great job everyone! One of the best Bulgarian movies I have seen !!! Keep on making such amazing movies and I will always be there to see them.

The scene with in the middle of the film, you can say which one it is, is just great made. Maybe it could've been easy more... but whatever.

Otherwise the movie is well shot, good costumes, good acting on a stable level, in the worst case, just ok. I won't say anything about the directing nor the script, because I find it little disturbing that the script was so light taken and the directing didn't try it's best to fix that little but not so fatal miss.

Oh, and the last around 10-15 minutes lose the good made atmosphere, because it is too messy made and chaotically chopped. You expect the climax and its follow up to be more engaging, not wondering you around the space, just staring at the characters and objects.

This film doesn't know what it wants to be - it lurches between comedy, satire and moments of elegiac drama. It needs about 30 minutes expunging and the storytelling would be more coherent and impactful.

There are some well defined characters and a few that make little useful contribution, but the acting was mostly theatrical, if not bombastic at times. I believe the story would have benefited had the emphasis been placed more on the dramatic and self-sacrificial nature of the events portrayed. The cinematography stands out, as well as the music, but I couldn't help being reminded of The Revenant in respect of both.

IMHO, the English title should be Elevation - there is a scene in which a captured revolutionary is being carted along the street and the camera rests on a plaque outside the school wall where we see the word "Vuzvishenie" deployed to mean the kind of elevation only education brings. This theme wove a thread throughout the whole film.

Drama, satire, action and breathtaking Bulgarian landscapes - "Heights" is surely one of the best Bulgarian movies in recent years. You will laugh, but you will also cry - you will have the opportunity to explore different dimensions of Bulgarian society in the years before 1878. If you are interested in Bulgarian history, "Heights" might be the best and most interesting option. Plot, soundtrack, characters - everything is on a very high level. It is great to see so many young Bulgarian actors in this movie - Bulgarian cinema has a bright future. Enjoy the views, the mountains, the funny dialogues and the touching score. 10/10 for "Heights" - new masterpiece of Bulgarian cinema.
