Review of Humidity

Humidity (2016)
8/10
An interpretation (read after watching)
7 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Petar is a hard-working guy. Being also unscrupulous at his job, he managed to climb high. His private lifestyle is hedonistic. He takes what we desires, not caring a bit about others. He is not evil, just cold. One day his wife Mina disappears. I believe this should not be understood literally. Actually, they lost contact, she is out of his reach. His concern is not to find her, but to maintain the appearance of his perfect life. (Remember the guy he drives home from party, who believes that Petar has not a problem in life.) But something outside bothers him. It is presented as humidity. He runs around (like the dog on a video he watches) but can not shake the feeling that something is missing. Like in the song: Something's happening here, but you don't know what it is... do you, Mr. Djokic? Some people consider the bed scene at the beginning unnecessary. I think is shows us the moment when Mina realized what she is missing in her life with Petar. Her lover whispers poetry in her ear and she repeats. Affection, tenderness, togetherness. Of course, I may be wrong with most of this. Nevertheless, a movie that makes one think and leaves room for interpretations certainly deserves to be better rated than it it at the moment.
