Finally very nice Croatian movie without war and social issues !!!
26 August 2009
Finally very nice Croatian movie without war and social issues! I really enjoyed watching this movie this summer in Pula (Istria) amphitheater. It is relaxing, nice, smooth, funny and it is sooo different then vast majority of Croatian film ... The movie plot is very interesting, about postman who reads other people mails. That idea is not brand new but author is very good "story teller" and all movie is kind of Chabrol's late works. I've been filmophile for more than 35 years and the best recommendation for this movie is a fact that this one is one out of three "domestic" movies I wanted to watch again (and I did it with my wife and kids ;O) (only "Tko pjeva zlo ne misli" and "Prije kiše" had that privilege 'till now!). Very nice job indeed !!!

Nice movie, good actors, good camera ... but why war?!

I like it! This movie is very good and significant example of good screenplay, good photography and good directing. From every single frame you can feel heat of Herzegovina's land as a metaphor regarding relationship between characters in the movie. Nebojsa Glogovac did a great role! He is at the same time gentle and silent, but you can feel volcano inside of him. Very good role indeed !!! Natasa Janjic has something ... She was in the sam acting class with mrs. Roščić and Lambaša, I think it is very talented generation ... The only thing I was wandering is war in the background of this movie. I assume that author wanted to get added level of pshycology context, but all in all I think that all thing works without war too ... Maybe even better ...

A little bit disappointed ... after high hopes ...
26 August 2009
I am little bit disappointed with this omnibus. I hardly waited to see it on Pula film festival, because some friends of mine are actors in this movie. My review is not so good, but let's start from beginning ... First of all, too many stories and too many similar story backgrounds ... Some stories are really good such as "Yellow moon", but for some of stories in this omnibus I really cannot find rational reason why are they part of the movie. Furthermore, I personally think that some of them ruined narrative construction of "Zagrebacke price" and made "second class goods" of movie with very good starting potential. From my point of view this is very good idea of making non-budget movie, thanks to producer Boris T. Martic, but result could be much much more better ...

I don't like it at all ... but ...
26 August 2009
First of all, I have to say that I've had opportunity to see this movie twice, first at Pula Film Festival and secondly at Sarajevo Film Festival. Something is interesting in this sick movie, because if you let it - it can very easily pull your mind into world of war & political issues, when all rules you knew simply doesn't work anymore ... But if you expect to be amused for 90 minutes - be sure that you'll be pretty disappointed ... I mean, if you don't expect classic movie narration and if you are aware that "Crnci" is difficult-to-see-movie previously of screening, it might be a winner for you ... But, sincerely ... Not for me ... Not at all ..
