Serbian Realm

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2017)

Extraordinary. Profound. Profusely emotional. Is this one of the greatest films ever made?
A special film.
This is a film of absolute madness, immense energy. There are so many memorable moments here; it would almost do a disservice to pick a few out, but the first scene may be the special one, as , when it appeared, I knew this was going to be special; this scene was the first fight scene, where the music gets louder; completely electrifying; insanity; free filmmaking.
There are of lot of seemingly similarities to the great; it evokes Fellini; it meanders in a special way, and has a magic, and energy, of the great Fellini. It also seems to bring into question Zulawski; the great, pure energy he brought; the insane energy he brought to his films, and actors; it is like a synergy of both, the double characters, and the concept of a film within a film. It reminded me at times, of L'Amour braque.
It is truly strange, and surreal, at times; but so energetic, it really is unbelievable.
The atmosphere...transports you to the realm of Serbia; utterly incredible.
The news segments scenes are absolutely genius.
This is rare filmmaking; pure filmmaking.
(The trumpets are utterly unforgettable)
I simply cannot believe this films is not more well known; after all, it did win Palme d'Or!
I implore you to watch this; this is a truly special film.
