Don't listen to the negative reviews
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
This movie is a bizarre (though not unsuccessful) attempt to make a music and movie fairy tale in Serbia during the war in Former Yugoslavia (91-95).Plot:Deni (Dragana Mirkovic) is a regular young girl, who works in a Mcdonalds in Belgrade, and dreams about fame and stardom. She is discovered by a musical producer Bruno X (Rambo Amadeus) and becomes a huge pop sensation in the country, but with success her sweet and sugar-free sweet troubles begin. There is a subplot about a ghost of (The) Elvis (Milorad Mandic), who befriends her and gives her advices. Aleks (Nebojsa Bakocevic) plays her love interest.Plot end.Dragana Mirkovic was (at the time) one of the most popular pop-folk singers in Serbia. This movie uses her enormous musical success at the time as it's fuel, for it is nothing more then the vehicle for her.Some of the famous rock musicians appear in side rolls, such as Milan Delcic (rock singer) and Zika Milenkovic (singer of rock group "Babe" (The Grandmothers)).In the very desperate period for the country this movie was released as a "release valve", and as a sure moneymaker offering the most popular pop-folk singer at the time on the big screen, "peace" between pop-folk and rock musical genres and simple sweet dreams plot for the public to escape to.If you like Dragana Mirkovic you'll like the movie. If you don't, chances are that you'll still watch it, if nothing else for the sake of pure amazement that something like this was made so shamelessly or just as a living document of the times gone.It's an over the top musical comedy, but not quite unsuccessful attempt.
I just saw this film on Pink Plus, and I was surprised when I saw Dragana in main role. Well, she knows to act, and doing it pretty good! Too bad the film is not good as she is, it`s boring and uninteresting. Too bad Dragana left acting after this film, it is not her fault that film is bad. Maybe she`ll try again...
