8/10
Story From Croatia
27 May 2021
A film that is not easy to watch because it shows the fates of ordinary people who lived in the communist dictatorship in Yugoslavia.

Some still refuse to look the truth in the face and admit the atrocities they committed in that repressive and cruel system. A lot of officials from the former communist system tried to do what the character played by Mustafa Nadarevic tried to do.

They were masters of life and death in Yugoslavia and imprisoned and killed innocent people as they wished. The truth always comes out as much as they want to hide it.

I would give this film the highest rating, but I think the direction and cinematography could have been a little better, as well as the production, but the film is still great. The actors really put in the effort and in that respect some of them really achieved above-average acting performances.

The director conveyed the atmosphere of those years well on the big screen and the film ultimately possesses emotion and faithfully portrays the cruelty of the authorities in Yugoslavia.
