Mi nismo andjeli

I fell in love with this film when it was first released and I've been chasing a DVD copy of it for years. I know pretty much every line in the film (I know, I know, I have no life...) For those of you who didn't know, the DVD was finally released in early 2005...and there was much rejoicing :-D.

The DVD release has English subtitles but I don't think you will gain as much pleasure out of it if you don't speak Serbian. Despite its relatively low budget it's really well directed and produced, and masterfully shot.

It's Srdjan Dragojevic's film-school graduation piece which shot him into instant fame. And he kept it going with every new film he made. He's a truly original world-class director equally capable of making entertaining films and serious art. I really hope he gets his big shot overseas one day.

Do you know that feeling when you watch some film, you immediately fall in love with it's imaginary world, you start to identify with every character? Well, that's what happens when you see 'The Angels' for the first, second and every next time! Cute story told in a brilliant way,it's full of charming Belgrade's sense of humor that has been in zenith in early 90's.Central characters are The Angel and The Devil, competing about Nikola, a twenty-and-something womanizing student of the world literature, a city's wise-guy whose cozy way of life is being roughly interrupted by impregnating Marina, a clumsy high school graduate at a party, who wants to keep the baby, while Nikola believes it's not necessary. Generations in Serbia knows to tell this film by heart, and I highly recommend it to anyone abroad because it's a great way of meeting and understanding Yugoslav pop culture.It also has an outstanding soundtrack. Recommended for whoever is sick and tired with shallow Hollywood teen comedies that are overwhelming our Space and Time nowadays!

At the very top of Serbian cinema. In my opinion, only "Lepa sela lepo gore" can compete with "Angels". Of course, I'm talking about Serbian, not Yugoslav film. Movies made from World War II until the breakup of Yugoslavia are completely different category and I think that these two periods can not be ranked together at all.

10/10

First ime i saw it I was 12 years old, now I'm 45 and I watched It probably 10 times and never gets old.

Has that ex Yugoslavia humor that always makes me smile. It's just different to western movies or new movies from this area.

Decades after they record second and third part but they cant even hold a handle to original.

It's about guy who went to party and was to drunk to remember with who he sleep with but she was pregnant and is something that happened to me also decades ago. She wants a baby with him but he don't want, he feels he is not father type so he try to avoid.

So maybe that same happens to me it's why I like this movie so much.

This is what a proper comedy should be like, recently i decided to rewatch it and it's as great as i remember, i only gave it a lower rating due to me being a generation too young to full understand it fully, but still, it's quite enjoyable.

It manages to blend its absurd comedy with quite an intruiging plot. Though, the story is more funny than it is intruiging, realisitically speaking there are some holes which can be found within this classic film.

Nikola is hardly a good man, and i can't understand that the point of the film would be a "people can change" message, i'd still say it wasn't executed in the best manner.

Old serbian films always had that kind of 'trashy' feel to their plots, not that it's a bad thing, but by modern standards these story don't quite age well, and i mean quality standards not moral ones.

Still though, it's quite enjoyable, good thing to watch with a pair of friends!
