Generals or Kinship-In-Arms poster
10.0

The heroes are retired general of the Yugoslav Royal Army and a colonel of the Wehrmacht corps who, far away from the battlefront, bent over military maps, with flags representing the warring armies in their hands, like children playing a game, give vent to their obsession to shape history.

How to Quiet a Vampire poster
7.0

A parable about a man who lost his memory. The drama criticizes the milieu that’s become totally false and hypocritical.

Fourteenth Day poster
6.5

The topic of this routine, romantic drama is a little unusual - it concerns what some prisoners do when they are allowed out of jail for two weeks before their sentences are up. Rather than receiving some special dispensation, it turns out that in Yugoslavia this was the custom. Most of the time, the men here are engaged in pursuits that forward their relationships with the fairer sex, as might be expected after a long and lonely incarceration. There is nothing particularly profound about their two weeks of liberty, and no deep message in the tale.
