Encara hi ha algú al bosc (2021)
Touching and truthful
First of all I must say I'm not Bosnian but from a neighboring country. However I have vivid memories in war and post war struggle.
The movie gives insightful look on few people's lives, their current sufferings as results from failed trials or state's inability to resolve them.
The story line builds gradually, naturally, I also like solemn music that fits perfectly. Another thing I appreciate is that movie isn't about taking sides but addresses all ethnicities equally.
Thank you. It help heeling.
Besa (2018)
Best Balkan crime story so far
Great cast and captivating performance by leading actors, intriguing plot line and story; brutality for the sake of the story, not recommended for those with poor stomach or kids. The story evolves around Albanian drug lord located in Montenegro and perfectly depicts Balkan mob connections. I recon if this was in English it would have world wide audience. Hopefully it will do one day. And oh yes - great music as well. For those familiar with the culture of countries involved and notorious nepotism this would be painstaking to watch but very realistic at the same time.
The Books of Knjige: Slucajevi Pravde (2017)
entertaining and absurd
If you haven't been introduced to The Books of Knjige before you will probably find the movie meaningless to a certain point. Their sense of humor is everything but common (they are known as Montenegrin Monty Pythons). Movie is about a very unusual detective and a crime to be solved. Plot - as well as the entire story is quite absurd. Rarely ha-ha at first but at some point you will burst into laughter. Actors apart from a few are amateurs so it is their simplicity to be appreciated, not the acting skills. Production and sound of the top quality. Give it a go with this one, it is very refreshing comparing to comedies and super hero franchise.
Slozna braca (1995)
One of the best Yugoslav comic shows!
This is one of my favorite serials made in ex-Yugoslavia. It has a lot of humor,pure,simple,Bosnian humor,understandable for everybody. The only object of these Bosnians making jokes is Bosnia and their people themselves. Creator of a show,Nele Karajlić is a front man of a rock band 'Zabranjeno pušenje'(more famous to the rest of the world as No smoking orchestra). 'Složna braća' takes place in a bar with a same name which is on a no man's land,under authority of piece forces.Muslims,Serbs and Croatians all come here,waiting for a secret delivery that will help one of them to win a war(in Bosnia,1991-1995). Who,when and how will bring that secret object-no one knows!
Oridjinali (1996)
If you're interested in old Montenegro-go ahead
'Oridjinali' is one out of small number of serial made in Montenegro in last 20years. This one takes place in a small Mediterranean town and deals with personal problems of its main characters.Possesive mother(Dragica Tomas) who refuses to accept that her son(Mima Karadzić-who is over 40) has his own life are main characters.She is supposed to be a prototype of a typical women from Montenegro which is far from true,at least in last 50years. But,what one might enjoy is a subtle and less subtle irony-'Oridjinali' has a lot of it! After all,if you endure two or three episodes curiosity will keep you going until the end.
