"Since the Croatian students, on the instructions of me and a few other radical Serbs from Croatia who hate everything Serbian, organized student protests in Serbia, I think that the relations between Serbs and Croats are even more interesting and lively, especially among the younger generations."
The new film by Predrag Ličina, a Zagreb director who is often in Belgrade, will tell the story of Zagreb's urban Serbs seven years before the war. Ličina talks about this for "Vreme"
Milinković has directed many film and television productions, including "What my thoughts are fighting for", which was also a Serbian candidate for an Oscar.
In 2025, there are at least 36 feature films in one stage of production and that's what filmmakers are hoping for. The country is only talking about the first national film festival, which will be a counterpart to Pula
Four televisions with a national frequency for the New Year on a total of five channels will not offer anything that has not been seen before
The film "Next to us" by Stevan Filipović was refused to be shown in Jagodina, Novi Pazar, Ivanjica and Subotica. We have to believe that the director's support for students has nothing to do with this censorship
The film tells the story of a turbulent period in the life of a child growing up in a family that lives on the edge of a mining basin in the Bor area, with the constant threat of relocation, or perhaps the necessary sale of the house and household to an investor, which, by its very nature, would expand and prosper
Spoon it definitely deserves to be seen on the big screen, it is an adaptation that has a lot to offer, but which is actually quite shallow and superficial
The 40th anniversary of the premiere of the film "Strangler vs. Strangler" was marked at the Horror Film Festival. Branislav Zeremski, whose acting career was starting at that time, shared a few memories of that time
Parthenope, as Sorrentino presents and directs her, is essentially an unlikable character who is essentially a paper construct and not much more or wider than that.
Naturalism is present as a common content in all five films that will be discussed here
Film Adjacent room represents a new phase in the career of the seventy-five-year-old author: it is his first feature film in English and the first film with a (mostly) non-Hispanic cast.
This film has the potential to initiate a much-needed revival in the Serbian film of our time, in the sense that the authors dare to dream more persistently and to dream up worlds, even if they are strikingly far from the typical and tried-and-tested
Anora is a juicy realist comedy about the essential impossibility of bridging the gap between economic and social classes even when kismet winks and suggests that such a thing is still feasible somewhere under the rainbow
The jubilee 20th "Free Zone" is opened by two Cannes winners. For next year, the organizers of this engaging film festival are announcing a change
This film by Abbasi is, it seems, a sufficiently sincere and thoughtful attempt to remove Trump's fists from his face, and then as convincingly as possible to present a portrait of a man who, even when he suffers, does not give up the possibility (which is not only a reflection of alpha male and competitive urges) to suffer inflicted on others as well, even if they belonged to the circle of his closest "satellites"
It is unclear why Grlić, whose earlier films, i.e. those from the crowning part of his career, distinguished by easily noticeable subtlety and carefully placed and incorporated finesse in terms of themes, motives, ideas (and then, why not, ideology and at least its clear and eloquent reflections), in Everything comes to an end from the very beginning it starts with a burst of fire
Aleksi Balasevic is more suited to the position of producer than screenwriter. Megdan is loaded with commonplaces to the extent that at times it takes on the contours of an unintentional parody, although, overall, what is offered has the compactness and nonchalance of B-movies, which it strives to ban
Substance in the first place and in the conceptual sense, it is a superb presentation of the nightmare of dysmorphia, that is, a serious mental disorder and the endemically widespread inability to have a realistic image of one's own appearance (and shape).
The festival of film direction LIFFE in Leskovac is concentrated on the achievements of the countries of the former Yugoslavia. His selector says "as soon as the first frame appears on the screen, the viewer knows that this is the former Yugoslavia, the scenery is like that, the faces of the people are like that"
Lantimos' new film certainly "has its moments", but it is certainly one of the weakest achievements in his filmography so far. It's not a point-blank shot, but it's far from hitting the center of the target. It is obvious that Lanthimos rushed the new film without paying enough attention to the script, and that he filmed a three-hour bizarreness that is, more or less, an end in itself.
Great beauty the story is about eternal Rome, perhaps such a film could not be created outside of Rome, about the beauty and emptiness of Rome, the eternal Rome of wisdom and the everyday Rome of stupidity. It is - as the main character says - a place where the most interesting people are tourists. The Romans are thus drowning in their brocade wasteland, in the barrenness of discotheques, killing the remnants of the time given to them by escapist dancing at collective dance parties or having bourgeois conversations about Marxism with expensive drinks.
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice is a perfectly decent and usable repertory film which will be enjoyed by fans of the first part and which, perhaps most importantly, will get some new kids interested in Burton's directorial oeuvre
The Venice Film Festival is an unmissable event for all film lovers. This year, it is expected that it could even surpass the festival in Cannes - and not only because of the many celebrities who come to the Lido.
Nađa Petrović, screenwriter and director of the film "The Smell of Fresh Paint" is among the laureates of the just ended Sarajevo Film Festival.
Darko Bajić is no longer the artistic director of the LIFFE festival, but that's why the mayor will be on the red carpet, not the filmmakers. The SNS and SPS committee of the Niš festival judged that the film "Next to me" by Stevan Filipović should not participate. The latest news about those two festivals is another contribution to the story of freedom in Serbia
