Serenity (2019)
Brilliant and beautiful!
This may be a 9/10 film but I'm giving it 10 just because so many folks gave it low rating. Here we have a plot that reminds us of numerous average American movies. Girl gets rid of her husband and decides to hire some boor to do him. But...this film is so much more. Let's start with beautiful landscapes of of an island and continue with character development. I won't spoil the fun, but let me just tell you that the key word is: character development. So far, the best movie that i watched in 2019. Trully beautiful piece of cinema. Let this be on your must-watch list.
Octavio Is Dead! (2018)
An original drama
This film was an interesting experience, how can it have rating 4?! The plot is interesting, it's about a girl whose I-never-met-him father left her an apartment. But...now comes the spiritual part, she will still have the opportunity to meet them. There is also one funny subplot with her dressing as a man and meeting a gay guy. Definitely worth watching!
Neka druga zena (1981)
Sadly mediocre detective flick
Crime is my favourite genre I there are not many things that I enjoy more then a good detective story. Complex plot and unexpected ending with constant tension end suspense is my sort of movies. Unfortunately Yugoslavian, and now Serbian, cinematography obviously has no flair for crime/thriller genre. This is a lousy, boring,uninspiring Yu film with some good actors in underdeveloped roles. It doesn't even deserve 6/10 but since it's from my country I gave it average rating.
Page Eight (2011)
Not a crowd-pleaser
First of all, I would like to say that I'm a big James Bond fan ( Daniel Craig is my favourite agent 007 ) and as such fun can say that this is one of the best spy films I ever watched. This film has not much in common with guys who seek for justice with their fists and guns, it is at first place a DRAMA with a theme of intelligence data and how things go in Great Britain. This is also a film about human relationships in that cold, ruthless world. The main character is an experienced MI5 intelligence analyst who is dealing with a big challenge - top classified information that can shake the position of Prime Minister ( small and memorable role of Ralph Fiennes ). He lost a counterpart and a close friend and has a moral dilemma - to follow his conscience or to go with a flow. Luckily, he has a help of a beautiful neighbour Rachel Weisz, an another memorable role. Bill Nighy is great and this film doesn't have too many flaw. If you enjoy slow, intelligent spy dramas this is the right thing for you.
Black Snake Moan (2006)
A little gem
This is one of those little gems that I propably wouldn't pick up if it wasn't on TV. This drama is a full package. Good acting, meaningful story, skillful directing and blues! Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci are very good tandem in this story of dysfunctional girl somewhere in America. She is sexy and disturbed and SLJ is good as always ( did he ever had a bad role? ). We have some chains and a lot of pain that needs to be cured! Definitely recommend for all people who are looking for more than entertainment.
Cha và con và... (2015)
A heavy drama
I watched this movie ( "Small Father and Other Stories" in English ) today on Belgrade FEST unexpectedly after I received a friend's call. And I got what I expected - a serious drama about hard life of young population in Vietnam. The opening scene is very instructive. It shows shabby, small dwellings at a river bank. Behind that we see a big modern building. Opposites that can be so often seen in so called "third world countries". The story is about a poor family that lives on a boat. We have a father, daughters and a few sons. One of those sons has friends and we mostly see what they do - talking about girls, swimming, trying to gain some money. It all resembles their hard life but they are full of life and very energetic. I won't tell you what one of these guys did to make money, it would be a spoiler, but that act is a symbol of poverty and lack of future in this country ( and not only that country!). The most mysterious characters in this film is a club dancer, a voloptuos and beautiful girl who practices ballet during the day and sells her body during the night. Also, there is a gay element between some characters. The closing scene is even more striking than the beginning. If you are sick of shallow blockbusters and want to watch a drama with some depth this may be a thing for you.
