Reviews
“
Disarming!- warmhearted considering the subject,"Journey to Jerusalem" Vivacious and original, pic by the helmer Ivan Nichev heightened replica after his hit "After the End of the World." "Journey," submitted by Bulgaria for last year's foreign Oscar , has enough wit and universal appeal.
