Horrible, fascist and poorly acted
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Well, if you're Croatian, this movie seems quite confusing. And I have a feeling it's quite complicated for the rest of the world :) But this is something special. Magical camera, a very special story. This is a world best described like a destroyed world in a 80s cartoon "Thundarr the Barbarian". The only thing that is constant if feeling of being disoriented. There is a war, but there is no clear battle line. The main character, brother of Lukas, the director, Filip Nola is just brilliant. Where he is going, nobody knows. He is meeting many figures. Croatian soldiers, local orphan girls, he is being captured by Serbian rebellions, and while the rest end up badly, he is making friends with local rebellion commander. The only constant is, he is surviving, while other, aren't. And the end is quite fascinating. It's a begging. In all war misery, there is something that makes this movie so human, so warm. A really something that can't be described. This movie deserves to be seen.
The cinematography is stunning, and it's worth seeing just for that. Like many of the war films coming out of the Balkans, this one can be a bit confusing. It's not a simple, linear narrative, but this serves the film. War and trauma are disorienting, terrible, and occasionally funny in their dark absurdity. The central character is oddly charismatic, and his wanderings are spellbinding. Unlike so many Hollywood films, we have no idea where this guy's going or how it will all end. Nola succeeds in transporting viewers into a strange new world, and films don't get much better than that.
