Ruski konzul

Unexpected movie to say the least.

My mother insisted to go see this movie, and to be honest, I wasn't too excited about it, but to please her, we went. Being a Serb myself, and watching a piece in Serbian production, I expected to see another story on Serbian suffering in Kosovo (a common theme), but the movie really surprised me.

It's a story on hatred and a story on suffering, and it doesn't have a face. At times I loved the Serb and the Albanian, and at times I hated both. The funeral scene at the end profoundly touched me. In the end, we both suffer while we burry our dead. Our mind gets consumed by ideas that serve the interests of the malicious few, but it is us regular humans that pay the price in blood.
