Movies: Best Movies in Bulgarian(български език)

Bulgarian ( (listen), bu(u)l-GAIR-ee-ən; български, bălgarski, pronounced [ˈbɤɫɡɐrski] (listen)) is a South Slavic language spoken in Southeastern Europe, primarily in Bulgaria. It is the language of Bulgarians. Along with the closely related Macedonian language (collectively forming the East South Slavic languages), it is a member of the Balkan sprachbund. The two languages have several characteristics that set it apart from all other Slavic languages: changes include the elimination of case declension, the development of a suffixed definite article and the lack of a verb infinitive, but it retains and has further developed the Proto-Slavic verb system. One such major development is the innovation of evidential verb forms to encode for the source of information: witnessed, inferred, or reported. It is the official language of Bulgaria, and since 2007 has been among the official languages of the European Union. It is also spoken by minorities in several other countries. ()

Bulgarian is spoken in Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, Romania, Greece, Albania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Moldova and North Macedonia and 432 movies (between 1915 and 2019) with this language have been recorded so far. Most of these movies were shot in Bulgaria (413). Popular genres for Bulgarian movies are Drama (270), Comedy (81) and Crime (24). Attraction (2018), Twice Upon a Time in the West (2015), The Infinite Garden (2017), Yuliya Vrevskaya (1977) and There Is No Death (1963) are among the best known & most successful Bulgarian movies.
