Mocking of Christ

What an incredible movie! This movie beautifully captures the current and historic timeline of Macedonia and it's shown through several viewpoints so it allows the viewer to follow along and watch from different lenses. The creativity, metaphors and imagery were top notch. This movie pulls on your heartstrings, makes you think, grounds you, and inspires you to connect with the actors who are all diverse in their own way and have their own story to tell. Great job to the creative, innovative, and courageous team behind this movie!

Really enjoyed watching this movie. Jani Bojadzi is a special director with a true creative mind. I recommend checking it out!

Thank you for telling the story of my ancestors. Thanks for telling the story of Macedonia. The movie is great and it is shame that is banned in Macedonia.

Very creative, well thought out, this movie is the new Macedonian staple in cinematography. It meets all standards in terms of plot, production, cast, filming locations..it is perfect. Bojadzi is a genious and i appreciate his efforts in making this movie amid ridiculous political persecution in Macedonia from the current regime. Bojadzi gives the truth like no other. Bravo!!

I saw the movie two days ago and I still can't stop thinking of it! Very impressive! Through the fate of Alexander and his family the movie accurately portrays the tragic fate of the Macedonian people from Northern Greece denied of any national rights and scattered all over the world. It may be a little confusing to non-Macedonian viewers, but the movie is so powerful that I hope it will inspire them to learn more about Macedonians and Macedonia. Surprisingly, citing "hate provoking inter ethnic themes" in the movie, the Macedonian Government tried to ban it before its premiere in October 2018. Luckily it was too late since the movie was already sent to the 42nd Montreal World Film Festival where it won the Innovation Award. The timing of the premiere makes this movie even more interesting and thought provoking, since just two weeks ago there was a referendum in Republic of Macedonia for changing its constitutional name to Republic of Northern Macedonia. Even though the referendum was widely boycotted and only less than 37% of the population cast their ballots, the government has started the motion for changing the country's name. We still don't know whether that's due to corruption, outside pressure or just because of false promises. Unfortunately, the Macedonian tragedy continues...
