Reviews

sobot This is a very unusual Yugoslav WW2 movie, taking place in a village in Vojvodina (northern Serbia). The dialog was written by poet Miroslav Antić, and many of the actors you won't often see in a movie, being members of the Serbian National Theater troop from Novi Sad.Most of the movie shows us everyday life, both during and after the war. The characters are ordinary people, not heroes, but however those who suffered greatly. This is probably exactly the reason why the scenes of killing and torture are sheer horror.I believe that one of the points is that people who didn't experience anything like that will never be able to understand completely those who did. The victims are very reluctant and unwilling to remember and talk about these things.
