mudoje_srbendic considering rest of markovic's work, this movie takes low position on list of his movies, for someone else it may be average, but not for goran markovic. as we are used to negative associations for yugoslav communist authority in markovic's movies, same thing is presented in 'vec vidjeno'. movie is about the man who is piano teacher who wasted his exceptional talent, primarily because of his childhood traumas which effected the rest of his life to the point of absolute mental decay. he associates nowadays reality with scenes from his childhood (explanes movie title)and general atmosphere is very melancholic and heavy, but not strong or effective enough and that's the key problem

oarch Now I'm not saying this is a masterpiece, but it is nonetheless a very interesting movie. It is definitely worth seeing, if you get a chance.The storyline follows the life of a child whose posh family disintegrated following the arrival of communists in Belgrade, Serbia.The loss of his family, societal status and dignity and the perceived lack of morals in the communist society drives him further and further away from the mainstream and into loneliness, depression and murderous obsession.The movie maybe tries a little too hard to represent the post-war communist society as a parade of ignorant, unsophisticated and violent peasants, freshly arrived from the mountains and villages but already ruling every aspect of the new society.The film is really about violence, and about painful changes in society that war and violent revolutions bring.

nixona In my opinion, "Vec vidjeno" is the best movie of Goran Markovic (and all of them are great), one of the best Serbian directors.It's done in cognizable Markovic's way. The story is great (it is by Markovic, also), acting of Mustafa Nadarevic is superb, Zoran Smijanovic's music is excellent as everything else in this movie.It is a horror movie, which is not a typical Yugoslav genre, [besides "Davitelj protiv davitelja" (which is more like comedy) and "Leptirica" I can't think of another], but it is done in a way that Hitchcock would envy. If any film deserves the Oscar then this is the one!

Milan Vec vidjeno is the gem in Goran Markovic`s opus. Markovic is in my opinion the best Yugoslav director of all time, and his movies in a satirical way perfectly portrayed society and social distorsions in Yugoslavia at the end of 70`s and up to the mid 80`s. Vec vidjeno (or also known as Deja Vu), is however looking on the other side of life, and horror, with the unavoidable elements of society`s flaws, raging from before World war II, up to mid 70`s where the plot is set. This is the most complete, griping and artistic Yugoslav movie that takes you by surprise and stares right in your face up to the very end
