Tamna je noc

This is one of the best movies I`v ever seen. It is about two families getting apart in Belgrade 1995, during the war in Bosnia. Situation in Belgrade is far from normal. Reactions of people are very different, media becomes more important than sons, daughters... After the war is over, nobody would be the same. This is the last movie of this respectable director, since he died in helicopter accident.

In 1992 I was 13 years old. I was old enough to remember everything clearly, and I think the characters in this movie are so exaggerated that they border with caricatures. On the other hand, I was too young to clearly perceive and understand the situation that surrounds me, so maybe I'm wrong. However, for the entire duration of this film, I had a painful cramp in the stomach and the desire to strangle certain characters with bare hands, which I think is the effect intended by the authors. I'm absolutely incapable of analyzing it.
