Медена земја

a film by Tamara Kotevska and Ljubomir Stefanov

It was curious to watch the South Korean drama Oasis back-to-back to the Macedonian multi-award-winning documentary Honeyland. If some scenes of the former are of almost documentary quality, the latter film, as a whole, appears to be staged or, at the very least, unnecessarily dramatised. Perhaps the authors should have stuck to their original plan to make a short film. The photography is gorgeous and the desolate landscape is often breathtaking, but there’s just not enough content for 90 minutes.
