Pogled sa Ajfelovog tornja

This is a debut feature from Nikola vukcevic, one of the best known Montenegrian director, and it's one kick-ass piece of work. Imagine a Balkan AmelyPulen+Tarantino+Aronofsky, but with even more wit and intelligence than the original one. The basic story line goes something like this: When Marijana was 16 – her father's boss sexually used her. Marijana's father did not do anything against his boss. After that, father became famous as discreet gynaecologist for illegal abortions. Ten years after, Marijana is prostituting with father's colleagues, harming his reputation (her father cares so much about). At one moment – Marijana meet sculptor, Vanja (poor and talented artist from the suburbs – that will open before her the world of love and trust). But, the world of Vanja and world of prostituting revenge – can not live at same moment! This film, with its characters and the plot, tells about hard Balkan times in which everything can be sold, about the disturbed system of values which characterizes everyday life in the Balkans; at the same time it tells about love that proves to be the only way out from the Balkan mud and wretchedness. Similar thing happened in Yugoslavia, where the people who seemingly lived well together turned to violence as soon as the communist grip was loose. In any case, I don't want to reveal any more twists and turns of this roller-coaster thriller, except that I also enjoyed the film's cool, ethnic-tinged soundtrack. I have no idea whether "Eiffel" found any distributors in the UK or States because I saw it at Toronto, some Balkan film festival, but I really wish it did because this movie is superior even by Western standards. Even though it's in Serbian+Croiatian+Montenegrian language, with the right promotion it would definitely appeal to a lot of people, for it is a REALLY-REALLY excellent work. Beg, borrow and steal to see this movie! It's that good.

Eiffel Tower is metal construction, height of 320 meters, built in 1889, an exhibit for the World Fair, celebrating the centenary of the French Revolution. To 1930. year was the largest building in the world. The structure is composed of 18.038 parts of cast iron, with the help of 2.5 million rivets and 1665 steps. Named after the engineer who designed it is - Gustave Eiffel. Today is an important tourist attraction visited by around 5.5 million visitors annually. When the tower was built, many Parisians thought that was a mockery and that it, after the Fair, you should destroy. Today is considered to be one of the masterpieces of architecture in the world. Also, the Eiffel Tower is the symbolism of which is rarely spoken. Gustave Eiffel was one of the most declared the Masons of his time. The choice of him to create a symbol that will celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution - which began exactly French Masons - it was and it is almost logical. As it is obvious that the Eiffel Tower actually elongated pyramid, it becomes logical that this old Masonic symbol (the pyramid is present on a bill of U.S. dollars) in the Eiffel Tower actually has Masonic connotations. Indeed, there are secrets - untold, and there are secret - and which are hard to come by. Likewise, Vukcevic said in his his brilliant film - 'There are laws - stronger than prescribed, and great to know - more than when they were kids. " Are the Croatian Masons were the projection of Motovun, at the premiere of this film? I do not know, and it means knowing who is watching. With the Eiffel Tower, of course.

There are some aspects of this movie that I really liked: it is visually stunning, it is the first film ever that shows the urbane side of Montenegro and its capital, Marija Vickovic can sure hold the screen, also, 10/10 for bringing ex Yugoslavia together in making this film. However, that is about it. The rest was quite irritating for me: the story doesn't have any real flow or a grip on the viewers, acting is shocking, and ... I just had a feeling that the director was trying bit too hard to make Podgorica look "worldly". The language was also annoying, the actors should have made an effort to learn to speak in Montenegrin accent, even the Podgorica-born Vickovic speaks like she lived in Belgrade all her life. All in all, good effort for a first movie, however, plenty of room for improvement - 5/10.

This film, besides being a touching love story, sometimes stylized to poetry, and sometimes quite harsh, it is also our own view of the mirror. View - with all his criticism of the gravity of the meeting with our corrupt essence, which is on sale. Mirror - to what is today ... what could be. And in that sense, it is not surprising that this is one of only three films, which is a film festival in Motovun, under the direction of filmmaker Rajko Grlic classified in the 'new regional landscape', 'View from the Eiffel Tower' deals with the fate of sons / daughters where generations of their fathers in the inheritance left behind collapsed principles of chaos and destroyed the society. This film tells about a time when your sons / daughters to decide whether to correct errors or fathers to just go the other way. Brilliant role of actress Mary Vickovic, directed by Nikola Vukcevic and richness of visual allegory - told the story about growing up in Yugoslavia, to meet 21st Ages. It is about growing up, which carries a price, between vengeance and hope, love and passion, friendship and redemption. This motif, which is huge, layered, and demanding for cinematic achievement, which is why this film, style, way of telling stories and above all an allegory, and associativity, reveals the scope of the mature works, the authentic, the manuscript of a specific project worth attention, even though it is about a young filmmaker, which this is only the first feature motion picture.

This great film is the story of the circle through which we, at Balkans, have been going for the last decade, and which we wanted to close. Besides a love story, this film is also the tale of the curse of the clash between fathers and sons, the story of the madness in the Balkans. When everything is over, numerous victims will remain, new borders... statistical data and cruel facts. A View From the Eiffel Tower tells of some small emotional things that we should never forget. Besides making war, during these ten years, we have also made love, felt pain, fear and separation. Our film is a story about hope. Through re-examination, the film shows what we are today. Because the circle is not yet closed – whoever doesn't remember, re-lives!
