I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

An excellent Yugoslav movie based on an equally worthy novel by the same name. (See the wikipedia entry for more details.) Vojislav Miric, Faruk Begolli and Abdurahman Shala give the performances of their lives. Beautifully filmed, the movie also serves as a useful, if oblique, insight into the "old" pre-1990 Yugoslavia and their cinema.A must for anyone interested in Yugoslav culture and history.
