"The Wounds"
1998
Directed by Srdjan Dragojevic
Simultaneously exhilarating and despairing, this
dynamic feature follows two youths as they become more and more involved in
the underworld in Belgrade. Eventually they are victimized by the culture of
violence that they willingly embraced, but it doesn't stop their
self-destructive ways or their emergence as unlikely TV stars. The film
works as a powerful indictment of the senseless bloodshed in the former
Yugoslavia and the media's acceptance of that bloodshed. Serbo-Croatian
with English subtitles. 103 minutes. |
