As Macedonia faces its difficult transition, a boy escapes into a world of his own creation.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Superbly modulated yet unrelentingly grim, Mirage builds upon a remarkable performance from young Macedonian newcomer Marko Kovacevic to tell the tragic tale of a talented schoolboy driven to violence through neglect and manipulation.
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Ristovski needs us to feel his nation's torment, and he succeeds.
You just know that any film that opens with Nietzsche's aphorism about hope being an evil that only prolongs the torments of man isn't going to a comedy.
The true power of the film comes from young Marko Kovacevic, who plays the poetic child lost in a family and culture where poetry has no meaning.
Ristovski wants the plight of a bullied moppet to serve as a sweeping metaphor for Macedonian struggle, but his miserablist excesses have the effect of converting realism into a graphic cartoon.
