Dreadfully Boring
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
This film is a typical representative of the Serbian 60s Black Wave film. It attacks some social aspects of Tito's communist regime, depicting two practically indigenous brothers that came from a small highland village and joined the communist partisans in WWII. After the war, they return to their village, revealing to each other that each has stolen a submachine gun from the army. It's social critique is quite obvious, according to the film trend in Yugoslavia of that time. It's plot line is blurred by some surreal inserted symbolical shots. Whereas some of these are brilliant (the greatest use of full color shots in a mostly b&w film that I have ever seen), some of these are quite hard to explain and comprehend. A great film to be seen, (quite hefty cinematography) with some extraordinary choices in visual composition of the contents of particular shots. However, some parts are bit confusing, even more so, I assume, to the non-Yugoslavian audience.
