Review of Wheels

Wheels (1998)
9/10
"Wheels" (1998), "The Hateful Eight" (2015)... Think about it.

I can not believe what I just saw and that no one recommended it to me earlier. The domestic cinematography has not seen anything like this before this movie nor after. I do not want to write anything related to the plot itself, because it would really be a shame to spoil it to somebody, so I will only give you some general impression. If Tarantino was a Serb, he would make "Wheels". The story is dark, morbid, brutal and bloody, and still wacky and ridiculous, at the same time predictable and full of unexpected twists. Set design, camera and direction are excellent and achieve an atmosphere that reminded me somewhat of "Twin Peaks" and "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover," while retaining the Serbian charm. and music shocked and thrilled me. Anica Dobra, Bogdan Diklic, Neda Arneric, Svetozar Cvetkovic and Manda presented their roles at the usual level, Pele and Isidora Minic are the weakest points in this film, but Dragan Micanovic, Ljubisa Samardzic and Nikola Kojo nailed it. After decades of drama and comedy, someone has finally made something else. If not for anything else, take a look at this movie to make sure that Serbian black humor horror thriller really exists.
