    A cinematic masterpiece that leaves a lasting impression

    This film is an absolute gem and a must-watch for anyone who loves storytelling at its finest. From the opening scene to the closing credits, it keeps you fully immersed and emotionally invested. The direction by Ivona Juka is masterful, with every shot beautifully composed (kudos to DOP Dragan Ruljancic), and the pacing is just perfect - not a dull moment in sight!

    The performances are phenomenal. Each actor brings depth and authenticity to their roles, making the characters feel real and relatable. The screenplay is rich with emotion and thought-provoking moments, striking a perfect balance that leaves you satisfied yet wanting more.

    The music and cinematography elevate the entire experience, creating a vivid atmosphere that draws you deeper into the story. This is one of those rare films that stays with you long after you've watched it. It's inspiring and beautifully crafted. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly remarkable cinematic experience!

    love is often the bravest act of resistance

    "Beautiful Day, Beautiful Night" is a film that highlights the eternal struggle of love for survival through a story set in post-war Yugoslavia. It is striking how, throughout history, regardless of the era, love always faces obstacles, defies norms, and fights for its right to exist.

    Directior manages to shed light on delicate aspects of personal and collective freedom while prompting viewers to question how far societal boundaries go in trying to suppress diversity. Although the film faces criticism for historical inaccuracies, its core message remains clear - love is what, regardless of the time period or social order, never stops fighting for its place in the world.

    BOLD!!!

    This is one of those films that stays with you for a while after the credits roll. It's a deeply emotional and beautifully crafted story about gay filmmakers in post-WWII Yugoslavia, fighting not only for their art but for their right to exist in a society that tried to silence them.

    The story is bold and unapologetic, tackling heavy themes with heart and nuance. It's not just about oppression-it's about resilience, creativity, and the enduring power of art. The performances are outstanding, with every actor bringing raw emotion and authenticity to their roles. You really feel the weight of their struggles and the quiet moments of joy that keep them going.

    The music, composed by Michael Brook and Ozren Glaser, is absolutely stunning. It perfectly captures the mood of the film, blending sadness and hope in a way that hits you right in the feels. The score feels like it's telling its own story alongside the characters.

    Visually, the film is gorgeous. The black-and white cinematography uses muted tones and stark contrasts to reflect the oppressive environment, while the period details in the sets and costumes pull you completely into the world of the film.

    All in all, Beautiful Evening, Beautiful Day is a powerful and moving film that deserves all the recognition it's getting. It's not just a history lesson-it's a reminder of why art and freedom of expression matter so much, even today.

    This is a must-watch for anyone who loves bold, meaningful cinema.

    A Powerful and Thought-Provoking Drama

    This film is a captivating look at friendship, courage, and the cost of standing up for what you believe in. Set in 1957 Yugoslavia, it delves into the lives of four artists caught between their ideals and a repressive regime. The characters are complex, and the story unfolds with gripping intensity, driven by outstanding performances of Dado Cosic and Emir Hadzihafizbegovic, and beautiful black and white cinematography. Powerful soundtrack by Michael Brook should also be mentioned!

    It's not just a historical drama; it's a deeply human story about sacrifice. Ivona Juka once again demonstrates how to deliver top-notch storytelling in film.

    I would highly recommend it! 10/10.

    Freedom of speech, and why we never must stop fighting for it

    Beautiful Evening, Beautiful Day is a cinematic gem that transports you back to the vibrant and tumultuous era of post-war Yugoslavia, but it is not a historical film. Its story can be put in any time, and that's the power of it.

    The film paints a vivid picture of a generation of young, idealistic filmmakers as they navigate the complexities of art, politics, friendship, and above all - love.

    The performances are mostly stellar, with each actor bringing their character to life with passion and authenticity. The cinematography is breathtaking, its clean black&white images are perfectly capturing the beauty and melancholy of the period. The film's exploration of the power of art and the human spirit is both inspiring and thought-provoking.

    While it might be difficult to watch at times, the film's overall impact is undeniable. It's a must-watch for anyone who appreciates great storytelling and stunning visuals.
