...this is like watching some movie from Yugoslav era, it gave me eeries. Same plot as always when it comes to Yugoslav film school-everything begins with funny plot and everyone think it will end funny, too. But for people from ex-YU it is always predictable-IT HAS TO END WITH A TRAGEDY. That is how all movies from ex-Yugoslavia end. That is how ex-Yugoslavia ended its existence. Also this movie is not Croatian only, unfortunately, it is Croatian-Bosnian-Serbian-Macedonian-Albanian production. Actors did their job excellent, three main male characters were superb, female role is a little bit pale and unconvincing to any foreign viewers. Rajko Grlic did an excellent job with "Stefica Cvek-U raljama zivota", I think he should stick to urban sophisticated stories as Stefica was.

explosion of nationalistic hate...

..depicted in this movie from it`s beggining to the end. There is no better movie, "Underground" is somewhat close on the subject, explainig why Yugoslavia fell apart so bloody and why people who lived in unity with no obvious reasons to hate each other, suddenly turn against each other and start killing festival. Lots of black humor, leaves you without hope that things can be undone, they can only get WORSE!:( "No man`s land" seems naive comparing to this movie. In my opinion, best Serbian movie in the past decade/10 Watch Srdjan Dragojevic`s movies, you wont be dissapointed, for sure!
