Panama

If you like to see hot sex scenes and nothing else, this is a movie for you.

Milan (Milos Pjevac) wages periodic bets with his buddy Jovan ((Slaven Doslo) to see how many sexual conquest they can acquire in short periods of time. However when he meets Maja (Jovana Stojiljkovic) what originally begins as another score for Jovan, after several heavy sexual encounters, suddenly his conquest turns into an "open relationship". Maja accepts his conditions, but it seems Jovan has problems dealing with his own rules as he becomes obsessed with Maja's every move on social media.

Obsession leads to jealousy and to Jovan attempts to try to re-categorize his relationship with Maja as he follows her every move. Jovan find it increasingly difficult to deal with his own rules he implemented in the relationship causing Maja to denounce his contemptuous treatment of her on several occasions. His temper progressively turns volatile and his feelings for Maja makes Jovan paranoid that everyone in her surroundings is either a culprit in hiding the affairs he thinks she's having or they are having an affair with her themselves.

This situation becomes unbearable for Maja and it does turn Jovan into a walking mess as he's unable find answers amidst his continuous accusations of Maja's infidelities. There is something to be said about Jovan's allegations, for Maja's demeanor is very withholding and vague towards Jovan's claims, giving him more ammunition to doubt her credibility. His increasingly paranoid scenarios regarding Majas affairs with whomever may be chummy with her on her social media leads Jovan to a borderline nervous breakdown. A once carefree player is now on the other side of his game, and the results take a toll on his daily existence for he trails and follows Maja's every move online with unconvincing results. The intelligence of "Panama" comes as a result of the way the social media information is gathered by Jovac and the way it makes him borderline manic, as he strategizes how to conduct his surveillance of Maja to mixed results and to the detriment to his relationship with her.

The Panama connection becomes apparent as Jovac is lead to believe that Maja has departed to Panama under mysterious circumstances never to be seen again, or did she?. A riveting cause and effect tale, all the subplots of Majas whereabout tie in nicely with the progressively self destructive behavior of Jovan. Jovan's obsession is acquired as a results of his apparent self projecting insecurities of Maja due to the standards and lifestyle he lives by.

The film's beautifully crafted explicit sex scenes complements the story visually as it tacitly explains a darker addiction to pornography & social media. The radical changes that leads the Jovan into a tailspin of self deception grows in apparent misplaced distrust of his friends and surroundings.

Panama is a very thought provoking film as it begs to question the role social media is having on relationships and how misplaced trust in this media can prove destructive if not checked against reality.

I'll admit, I was hooked until the last 20 minutes of this movie. Right up until 15 minutes before the end the movie turns from bad relationship and a chick flick sexual teenage story to a CSI: Missing Victims. The main character suddenly turns from a concerned boyfriend to a prime investigator who finds - nothing (I s*** you not). This piece has the youngest generation of actors, and I was amazed by some of the scenes and disgusted with others. Sometimes, male actors would fall out of their characters and besides acting, the scenario was a total disaster - absolutely inconstant. If you like to see hot sex scenes and nothing else, this is a movie for you. I'm only giving this movie a two because Jovana Stojiljkovic played her role for a 10!

Jovan (Slaven Doslo) and Maja (Jovana Stojiljkovic) are in an open relationship - the starting point. And then what happens is that standard - she falls in love with him, but he also in it, although he will not confess to himself. After all, Jovan acknowledges that he is in love with Maja and one, one might say, a self-confident guy becomes a person who drinks the ground beneath his feet. He becomes someone who keeps the girl.

Sex in this movie is over. The actors are Maja and Jovan. Sex is passionate, dirty and convincingly portrayed.

The film has imposed several topics in the story, without further elaboration of the same and without adequate answers. At the same time,films unnecessarily burden scenes that have no significance. For example, for several minutes, Jovan was at dinner with another girl. She was also the parents of that girl. There's also Jovan's faculty professor who just disappeared from the film without explanation.

In the end, praise deserves the main actors, young actors Slaven Doslo and Jovana Stojiljkovic. Slaven played a very successful role. Particularly expired in moments of paranoia. Jovann was exceptional. In many situations her face spoke more than every word. Scenes of sex played at an enviable level.

This movie can not give a higher score than 6. Simply, there are too many defects and inconsistencies. The mentioned actors have drawn this score.

its theme, its manner to use sexuality, the precise portrait of dominated society by internet and pornography, the spirit of a special age, the levels of a love story are arguments who defines a remarkable film. a film with good script, inspired performances, the right atmosphere, who has the virtue to be provocative not for the sex scenes but for the many open windows. because it is a film about Serbia, about career, importance of studies and jealousy. about insecure states and about masks. about illusory forms of truth and about the fear to loss the other. but its basic gift is to be reflection of its public. because it propose not the ordinary recipes of teenager films. because it has few traces of XIx Century Russian literature. and the final preserves touching form of poetry. short, a provocative film.
