Review of The Woman with a Broken Nose

Massive step forward from his previous work, director Koljevic pulled out almost a masterpiece with this unique BALKAN comedy. Characters like these can be found only in ex-Yugoslavian territories. A young woman with a baby and a broken nose steps out of a taxi caught in traffic jam on a Belgrade bridge leaves the baby behind in the car and throws herself into the river. The taxi driver is shocked. This suicide attempt connects the destinies of three witnesses; it triggers their emotionally "stopped" lives making them move forward. The misanthropic taxi driver, left behind with the baby, begins fighting for the life of the woman with a broken nose (outstanding Glogovac, with a totally different role that he plays in DONKEY, imagine Ben Stiller mixed with a bad luck of Woody Allen!). A young teacher faced her life trauma; and an unusual woman pharmacist leaves her fiancé looking for a real love. These characters will save each other's lives and rediscover true reasons to live. Great storytelling and even better acting makes this movie a must see on every serious moviegoers list. Don't miss it!
