Even if you can't see a sub-titled version, you won't miss anything; as someone has already mentioned, the dialog in this film is extremely minimal. Instead, the viewer is immersed in the story through the natural sounds of the wild Bulgarian hills, empathic and creative (but never obtrusively 'there') camera-work and the amazingly expressive and authentic performances of the two lead actors.

When this film was released it was seen by three million people in Bulgaria, and the population then was only 8 1/2 million.

It is sad to relate that the director, Metodi Andonov, lived only a few years after the making of this film. With so few examples existing of his craft, The Goat Horn is even more precious.

An absolutely beautiful, unforgettable film.

I could never imagine some months ago,that a Bulgarian movie I saw a night that I didn't have something more interesting to do,would make me admire it so much,so that I could definitely say that it is a masterpiece of the European cinema ever made. No special effects,no impressive decoration.Just a plain composition but also a genius one. The wife of a farmer is being raped and murdered by a gang,in front of the eyes of her little daughter. The farmer hungry for revenge brings the girl up as a boy, and when she is old enough they kill one by one the killers. This movie is a hymn to simplicity.No dialogs when it is not necessary,full of primitive feelings with perfect harmony between actors and natural location.Excellent!!!!!!!!

Be whatever oppression comes upon, there is always a strong spirit to rise. And in todays times, when more than ever it is important to cherish and value the true power of women, the main Lady character - one to bear the strength and banner of rising against all violence and subjugation, defying that only a man can liberate or bring justice is a vital sign of what women can do. Beyond that, we can learn to renounce the slavery against humans and see the true vandalism against humans it brought. A movie, that beautifully and with few words brings up great human rights to a pedestal. As a cinematography, this is shot very much in the spirit of the classic cinema, enchaining the viewers experience in creating a visual a musical harmony and art masterpiece. A story remains in our minds and brains not with the words, but with the emotions, and this movie draws on free spirit and justice as true human emotional pillars.

I was very much taken in by the movie in the start. Not to the point where i would say masterpiece but a solid and interesting approach to things. Unfortunately a film of this character only have a few viable endings and for me I think it was fast limited further down. I did think the acting was good and I do think the landscapes was beautiful. But I felt the story lacked some development outside the very narrow scope of the father and the girl. And I did also think there was lack of character progression besides one of the main characters. It is by no means a bad movie. I just felt if could easily have achieved so much more than ending up being a very average movie.
