Watch Balkan Spy For Free

best movie i've ever seen.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

It is interesting that films from the Balkans always inject comedy into each movie. I think it's proof that every movie can be comedic. This kind of comedy has gradually become "Serbian form". Today, many directors in Hollywood make films in this form. Dušan Kovačević, master of drama can be placed at the head of Serbian films, as the most successful screenwriter of all time. Masters of this art Bata Stojkovic showed magic and once again proved that he is unsurpassable actor. This kind of acting we can't see in Los Angeles or New York. There are Mira Banjac, Bora Todorovic and Sonja Savić who successfully follow the lead actor. Directing by Mr. Kovacevic and Mr. Bota Nikolic is fascinating. With little money to make this movie? This is laudable. All praise for producers. Camus's philosophy of absurdity is passed through the context of the rotten ideology. This is a picture of how Tito affected people. Tito-Stalin relations has caused division in the nation. Many have become paranoid. It is no wonder that this movie came out a few years after Tito's death when his power disappeared. Little man fell into paranoia against the great powers become the spy. Alone against all, he attempts to reveal the conspiracy at a high level.

The movie is not funny at all (might have been at its release time for the local audiences) and definitely not a comedy. At most is an ironic story.After a while it gets really boring and doesn't even have other qualities such as beautiful photography, clever sequences, etc.The movie is a criticism of the big brother surveillance paranoia that victimised the socialist countries and the absurdity of a repressive system. As such it has its value but nowadays it is anachronistic and out of context. It might still have some meaning for Serbian people who suffered with stalinism or might still have shadows of stalinism in their everyday lives today, but this is my guess based on the other reviews.The other movie, KO TO TAMO PEVA of the same director is a different story. Its message is universal and timeless.

This is in deed not only one of Dusan's masterpieces, but one of the greatest actings I have ever seen. It is based on a play of the same director. As slightly involved in the movie world, I can hardly remember any actor that could perform what Bata Stojkovic did in this film. Perfect drama composition, casting and acting. However, you gotta possess more than narrowed global news awareness film attitude to enjoy humor of a director who is laughing at himself in the movie that depicts self-criticizing of whole nation through the ideologically fallen character of an actor that no Hollywood performer can follow in even much shorter monologue

A lot of lame movies these days are going to international film festivals,we all are asking ourselves what happened to Serbian movie,and this film is reminder that we once had a good directors and for NO.! good screenplays! Movie is intelligent and funny ,like Dusan Kovacevic's work always is. He mocks the regime and at the same time works with really serious subjects and ask serious questions .. I would recommend this movie to anyone . Ilija Cvorovic is a man in his middle age.One day he gets a phone call from the police.He is called to be examined about his neighbor and subtenant . He is afraid of what will the police ask him.But they don't ask him much,they just want to know who is he ,because he just came from France. After that conversation Ilija begin to imagine things ,he thinks that his subtenant is a spy and that kind of thinking led to lot of funny scenes...
