“Windless” is the best Bulgarian film I’ve ever seen. Thank you, Pavel Vesnakov, for throwing us into a harsh, ugly, yet painfully real world. About the Bulgarians who run away… but is it really better out there? About the small towns selling their soul. About the loneliness that kills more than poverty. About the elderly we discard like trash. About the patriarchal, the macho, the pain we carry in silence. Fyre doesn’t act — he simply exists in that world. Orlin Ruevski paints frames that weigh heavy, suffocate, and speak. It’s an honor to know artists like these. This film isn’t to be watched. It’s to be felt.
