Don’t miss it
I had an opportunity to see this feature during Warsaw Festival. It made an extraordinary impression on me, and not only on me – audience immediately fell in love with it. If you are tired of full of special effects blockbusters on the one hand, and on the other you’re not in the mood to watch another depressing art movie, “The world is big..” is the best answer to your demand. Of course, it’s not perfect, sometimes it is even awkward – the director still has to work hard on his craft, but, after all this movie will lighten your heart. Life is worth living, life is worth acting, that’s what this film is about. Miki Manojlovic is more than charming as an energetic, “crazy” grandfather who teaches his withdrawn grandson how to appreciate life. And – believe me – having watched this movie, you will start thinking about traveling through Europe on bike. Balkan spirit still works!

Good movie with consistent story
I went to the theater with low expectations of another boring post-totalitarian Bulgarian movie and was pleasantly surprised – it had an actual story which was told consistently, the characters were lively, there were no irritating protracted shots in silence (trademark to many, many other Bulgarian movies) and the dialogue was real. While based on a novel the movie elegantly manages to stay focused and the plot is not overstretched.

Things I didn’t like: the one-sided densely evil picture of the totalitarian oppressors that rendered them preposterously inhuman, the clichéd camera (e.g. yellowish retrospectives, rotation around characters while they played backgammon) and superfluous didacticism in some scenes.

All in all it’s worth watching, but eight years of script rewriting could yield a bit better result.
