A devastating but hugely important film, 7 May 1999
10/10
Author: angel-113 from Verona, Italy

A devastating film which shows the social degeneration of Belgrade, subjected to nearly ten years of conflict. Values normally taken for granted have little meaning, especially to young people who have spent all their formative years in a country rocked by instability and near social anarchy. Violence has lost its extreme nature by becoming an everyday occurrence.

The film is shockingly violent, grim and realistic in tone, occasionally descending into the realms of the grotesque. It particularly shows the link between aggression and the male psyche, the threat of sexual violence being equally prominent. Practically nobody is exempt from the fever of madness which sweeps over the city. Consequently, individuals no longer take responsibility for their actions and guilt becomes oblique and collective, which is of course when the atrocities of history happen. A hugely important film.
