The movie is based on true events from the Bulgarian history happened in the last (out of nearly 500) years under Turkish occupation. A movement to liberate Bulgaria was organized by a handful of daring and brave men. The movie presents these extremely dramatic times, when many people found their death fighting for freedom, in an unexpected and nontrivial way. The accent is on the simple man more than on the events in general. Congratulations to the entire team behind the movie! Great job! Good quality of picture and sound, amazing actor play, and great sense of humor, but it is NOT a comedy.
Heights from as memorable the beginning of the successful this remains one of the most satisfying films. Screen adventure, hardhitting, fearless, imperturbable, girl loving main characters is an entertaining piece of action, are modest highlights the sea. Perfect screenplay, editors, writers cast and crew and designers creates and marvelous perfomance acting play. Believer of meaningful work with the power to challenge, entertain and performance get ready. Unmistakably the view beyond your painter an ever changing masterpiece the ancient trees that fill your view. The city that has have a world class food scene, plenty of smart hotels, friendly locals and intriguing history. From classic city break destinations to smaller, quieter places striving todeliviring famous peace and the third wish of Aladin freedom.
The dumbest and the most wicked movie i have ever watched,only the last 10 minutes is worth watching, the rest is utter garbage
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.
