Mayor, Shepherd, Widow, Dragon

Juonikuvaukset(1)

Pirin is a small Bulgarian village that has been dying out. The only thing that remains, along with its last few inhabitants, is the legend of a mighty dragon that ensures the villagers’ prosperity as well as their misery. Eliza Petkova’s third film is a humorous ethnographic portrayal of the world which survives mainly due to faith and hope. (Summer Film School)

englanti Eliza Petkova's ethnographic documentary gives sad testimony to the disappearance of people in the Bulgarian countryside, using the village of Pirin as a case study, while also giving the film a certain magical touch thanks to the legend of a dragon. We follow the fate of a select few inhabitants who are mostly stuck in Pirin, and the only way out is basically "feet first". Despite the weighty subject and a few potentially powerful moments, I was ultimately impressed by the documentary's mediocrity. ()
