Reno Rangan A film about an open relationship and one losing it in the way to find himself trapped inside filled with jealousy. Really a great idea, I have seen similar films from the European and Hollywood, but this one had potential to be different and it could not. It is very confusing. Not just for the viewers, seems even the writers did not know how to end the tale after great initiation. Actually, I was not expecting any clever twist towards the end, but this story failed to deliver even a normal ending. So I'm very disappointed with how it finishes it off without proper reasoning.The title was a mislead. You have to wait till the finale to understand it, it was also not that effective. The story was, actually there's nothing, or maybe you can say it's a one liner. When two young people make a deal to keep their relationship open, one could not cope with it after some time together and that brings the mistrust, eventually doubts arise on what kind of affair they are having. At some point it could get ugly, but what stops them, especially the future of them decided in the final segment of the tale.So I kind of liked the first half, the real problem was the following half. I know the film character had confused over something, but why should the filmmaker confuse us as well. Should have detailed that part to come out clear. Though it was different, and still not the best solution for a tale like this. The actors were good, and decently made film, I mean the production, which I think is okay for a watch, yet it is not for everybody. Particularly for having the adult contents, it suits better for the grown ups.4/10

againstmoth I didn't understand if she really went there or it was just a lie to keep him away from her. Can anyone help me understand this? Nowadays, i see people around, they are constantly with their phones and i don't think it is cool anymore. So, these movie made me think about this age we are living, about the individualism we are facing too. Social media is available for everyone, but some people lose their mind with these social information because they can not handle it at once. So, I strongly believe social networks are not for everyone. Sometimes, people are carried away by the media without thinking if it is positive for them or not. I wait for your answers, thanks.

grantss Jovan is an architecture student at university. He doesn't believe in monogamy, instead just having one-night stands and multiple short- term relationships. His view is reinforced and encouraged by his friend, Milan, who is even more free-wheeling than him. They even have a monthly game, the winner being the one who has the most sexual encounters. Then Jovan meets Maja. They are attracted to each other and start sleeping together. Jovan makes it clear from the start that he believes in an open relationship, and Maja is fine with that. However, while he is free to see other women, he starts to suspect that Maja is seeing other men, gets jealous and starts cyber-stalking her. After a while he discovers that he loves her and starts to see her exclusively. Will the relationship survive his jealousy, paranoia and obsessiveness?An interesting examination of relationships, particularly among young adults, in an age of social media, pornography, instant satisfaction and non-commitment. Also looks at darker issues, especially jealousy and obsession.Some interesting twists in the tale. At many points in the story the relationship can go in many directions, and a word or action here or there can change everything.Good, but not great. The characters are a bit too one-dimensional, and I was expecting something more dramatic towards the end. Ending, while poetic, feels too vague.

Edgar Soberon Torchia When a work of cultural consumption makes references to technological development, through gadgets that rapidly go out of fashion every time a new formula, measure or chip appears, the work runs the risk of quickly becoming obsolete, unless its dramatic basis is sustained on prevailing reflections on human beings and, even better, if it is done with honesty, so it can become a valid testimony of what people thought and how they behaved in a given time of human evolution. Serbian director Pavle Vuckovic based his first feature "Panama" in his own experiences as well as those of acquaintances to tell a story about how social communications and pornography have contributed to exacerbate narcissism among people and, consequently, to deteriorate human relationships. The protagonist is Jovan (Slaven Doslo), a graduating senior of Architecture that leads the life of any upper middle class young man in the mid-2010s, with access to social networks, nightclubs, private university and employment. Jovan proposes an open relation to Jana (Jovana Stojiljkovic), a humble girl who consumes the same things offered by the market economy of our times. The drama soon develops when Jovan begins to suspect that Jana leads a double life, through his cell phone and computer. Although the target audience of the film may be the young, "Panama" tells us, the elderly crowd, many things that perhaps Vuckovic were unaware of or not: this is neither a romantic comedy nor a passionate drama, but a loveless portrait of everyday neurosis about compulsive sex and how it can destroy a relationship in the absence of the creative potential that defines its opposite, personalized sex (see Dane Rudhyar). Eloquently, the erotic formula that Jovan and Jana repeat in their sexual encounters is sodomy, the "derisory grin" of life, as De Sade called that reversal of the procreative act, where the "pearls of life" (as Buddhists call semen) end in a "rotting zone"... My viewing of "Panama" also coincided with my reading of Ernesto Sabato's "The Writer and His Ghosts", in which he says, give or take a word or two, that in our time the human body has been denied its rich metaphysical dimension and it has been deprived of its capacity to make us reach knowledge through it. Thus, the other person's body is a mere object and sex is almost an onanistic act, because only through the association with a personalized body and its energy, we humans can transcend our egos and solitude, and achieve communion... which social networks will never give us. "Pure sex is sad," says Sabato, because it leaves us back in the solitude where we started, but now also with a failed attempt at communication. In the end, in his futile search for love through the "negative way", Jovan looks for a Panama (where Jana apparently has gone without notice) in social networks, streets and abandoned buildings of his city, while Jana may be perhaps in the global corruption of a paper-made Panama. As limitations, "Panama" could (and should) have been more graphic in its depictions of arid sex and, like many first works, it tries to say too many things. However, it is a sincere drama, with suggestive visual and musical metaphors of our mind tunnels, as we search for happiness, which makes us reflect on many things beyond its story, and long after the projection ends.
