Hilarious movie (to IMDb admin -> again, there is NO serbo-croatian language - please correct ASAP!!!)
I read the Anto Tomic's great novel that the movie is based on couple of years before the movie came out. I found the movie to be just as hilarious as the book. I've seen the movie a few times, and although of course there is always room for improvement especially considering the flow, it certainly satisfies the comedic requirement and has carried most of the ideas from the novel. I highly recommend it to all. The English-speaking audience, although a bit deprived of understanding the original Croatian language in the movie, will find the subtitles more than sufficient. At least all of my American friends who watched the movie found it to be a great comedy.
a good film
I have to admit that it's a while since I saw such a good Croatian movie.And I'm really happy that the things are starting to move in our filmography. So I really can't understand the negative comments that I read.OK,maybe it's the question of taste,and we don't want to discuss that,but still: the photography is really good,the story flows well,and I don't find the humor shallow.In fact,I didn't hear such a good haiku poem in a while. Message of the film is maybe unoriginal (love conquers all).But maybe it's not too bad to hear it again,and again from time to time.I doubt we all live a "pink" lives....
Hilarious comedy about forbidden love and pastoral mentality
Hilarious... I've seen it couple of times, and I keep finding little diamonds here and there... This is a post-nationalist, post-patriotic movie that reverberates with all audiences in the Western Balkans, uncovering the common humanity and exposing the excesses of the recent past. I haven't seen a Croatian movie in almost twenty years, and I am particularly glad to see that Croatian film making is alive and well. I have to admit, the movie reminded me how similar in mentality and thinking the peoples of ex-Yugoslavia really are. While it may be politically incorrect for some today to call the language the movie was filmed in "serbo-croatian", the reality is, if this movie was filmed in "Croatian", "translating" it to "Serbian", as in subtitles, would just add a further element of comedy to it. The difference, particularly for the dialect spoken in the movie, being as between Canadian and American English.
masterpiece
I do not agree with the comment above, and since I realized that it has been accepted as useful by some of the guests of this site, I feel something else has to be said about this film too. I saw the movie last night, and I'm still impressed! it is one of the funniest, warmest and most intelligent movies I've seen in a long time, especially in filmography of former Yugoslavia. The director has somehow managed to create film which communicates with the audience so easily and open-heartedly. The humor is very subtle and profound, the actors are exquisite, and the photography is brilliant. Film-making in former Yugoslavia is still vital. Nice thing is that when crisis inflicts one national production, for instance, recent Serbian film , others take the torch. Slovenian films had some strong years lately,and now it is obviously that the Croatian film stands as the regional flagship. My arguments are: Wonderful night in Split, Sorry for Kung Fu, and above all, What is a Man without Moustache. Film that overwhelmed me so that I can't stop thinking about it. I recommend this movie to everyone who has the opportunity to see it!!!
A very good movie!
I have nothing but praise for this movie. The plot is OK, nothing special, but OK. The thing that impresses me most is the way author showed so up close and vividly the mentality of southern Croatia. Picturing the everyday life and routine, furthermore showing through the characters very real how the people actually are in the backgrounds of Dalmatia whit their "common" truths and opinions about life in general and religion. I consider that to be the baseline of humor in this film, of course only if you are enough open minded not to find that offensive, but highly humorous. My utmost praise goes to excellent music in the movie. Once again brilliant Tamara Obrovac showed what a class of musician she is! Her catchy tarantella "Daleko je ko me voli" goes like a leitmotif throughout the film. I enjoyed so much in the music, that I wouldn't mind film being an absolute cr** (which isn't). So if not for the movie, at least go and listen to some fine music! P.S. If you are hungry for good Croatian movies I recommend "Fine mrtve djevojke" aka "Fine dead girls".
