... View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
... View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreOne of the best (Bosnian) movies I've seen in last years. Bosnia and Herzegovina is still trying to recover from the terrible war (and present silent war) and people are left by their representatives to try to survive those hard conditions (economic and political) in which the country is.In short, the story is about a taxi driver trying to make the living and to provide for his family the best he can in the situation given. And the situation is a catalyst or a cause for his actions. He tries to be a nice / good person but as the movie shows, in such surroundings, it's not an easy thing.Definitely worth watching. The cast is great, characters are played in such a way that the viewer really is able to experience the story.
... View MoreI saw this movie at the International Rotterdam Film Festival by surprise. This festival with lots of debuting directors is always a sort of bingo to see brilliant movies or to walk out of a cinema after terrible movie. For this movie I was invited by a friend. I had no expectations at all. To my surprise it turned out to be a wonderful small surprise with brilliant twists and some shocks. Its the first time I saw a Serbian movie. A brilliant surprise. Funny, small acted, with enough drama and a beautiful end shot. The title in English, It's hard to be nice, tells the story about the movie. I hope this movie will find his international way, because it's worth it.
... View MoreI recently saw this at the 2008 Palm Springs International Film Festival. This is the second feature film from director Srdan Vuletic who won critical acclaim with his 2003 film Ljeto V Zlatnoj Dolini (Summer in the Golden Valley.) Vuletic hits another home run his second time out and this film is Bosnia & Herzegovina's official submission for Best Foreign Language Film to the Academy Awards. This is a dark drama set in Sarajevo but also sprinkled with plenty of comic relief. From a screenplay by Vuletec and Miroslav Mandic this is the story of Fudo (Sasa Petrovic), a Sarajevo taxi driver married to a beautician named Azra (Daria Lorenci) and raising a young son. Fudo is in debt to a hoodlum named Sejo (Emir Hadzihafizbegovic) who deals in the black market by fencing stolen goods, financing robberies and running drugs. With his marriage breaking up due to his underworld dealings, Fudo decides to go straight and reasons that if he goes into debt with Sejo one last time he can purchase a new mini van taxi, get quality cab fare because of his upgrade, pay off Sejo and win Azra's love back. Of course, and thus the title, he find's it's hard to be nice. Petrovic is superb in the lead role with excellent support from Hadzihafizbegovic. Cinematography by Slobodan Trninic. Music by Sasa Losic and Srdan Krupjel. This is a good film and I would recommend it and give it an 8.0 out of 10.
... View MoreThis movie represents the true situation of living in Sarajevo. A bit of drama and comedy.The carters in the movie are picked up correctly which are facing poor standard in the country (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and try to survive. Again did Emir Hadzihafizbegovic an excellent work with his playing and also Ms. Lorenci. The normal life workers (Suad - a taxi driver) have difficulties to manage their lives on fair and normal basis without criminal activities. But one day, he says that is enough and he turns a new page in his life, to be a nice husband to Azra(Lorenci) and a good father to his little son. Although the society makes it hard for him to live nice and be polite he managed to get his life on a "normal" way. The best part of the movie is at the end ... the moon over Sarajevo where he accepts "his" son. The movie represents that no mater what, it is not always easy to be nice and to survive in the city Sarajevo. But still ... WE LIVE!Bravo!
