Parada (2011)
Stereotypes
Superficially about Belgrad,Serbia gays and their struggles to hold a gay pride parade, the stereotypes that the movie uses for Serbs, Croats, Kosavars, American armed forces, and police officials are way over the top, or far under. An American studio could never make a movie like this in which everyone is blatantly stereotyped as a result. Since the stereotypes are played as fools, even gay ones, the humor in the film comes out of that. The scenes of rural, Adriatic Croatia are especially breathe taking. Other rural areas in the region are also starkly beautiful, if only too quickly seen and gone. The ending provides the requisite tear inducing scenes. There are many Serbian filmmakers that produce hilarious films. This is not one of them. Neither is it a gay pride film by any means. Just throwing stereotypes at each other for laughs.
