Pogled sa Ajfelovog tornja

This movie shocked me with its passion and general sense of beauty. As a long-time Yugo-movie-hater, I was surprised that I was even compelled to see this movie. I was very glad that I did, and have seen it many times now. Great date movie. And it was the best romantic movie i ever saw. however i don't like romantics, but this touched my heart. the scene when the Vanja's mother is dying, and the scene when Mariana is speaking with her father, telling that she is pregnant!!!. It is very passionated! And what about the kiss at the rain? Because of the movie, I read the book. It is great, too. A true story, a really good one. And Darko Rundek had a role in it, his role was very important too. It's like you don't know with who are you dealing. Maybe this will change your life?!

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 unusually beautiful film, its characters and storyline - actually talk about some hard times when everything is for sale; it also deals with love, which is the only way out of the Balkan madness. This film I saw in Vienna, and the audience were fascinated. Metaphorically, A View From the Eiffel Tower treats the fate of sons and daughters to whom their fathers bequeathed the degenerated principles and chaos of a devastated society. It is a film about a generation of sons and daughters who became the hostages of bad decisions from the past. It shows the moment when these sons and daughters need to decide whether to correct their fathers' past mistakes or simply take another route.

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.

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.
