Whadamovie!!!
Paskaljevic proves he is deservedly Serbia's greatest film director. Joint by his son, Vladimir, he created what we see as a perfect allegory of Serbian Fatalism, hailed in this movie as the irrational Optimism. The overall tone may strike as overtly pessimistic and critical, but possesses an intense empathic element. The script presents a huge gallery of distorted characters and provides redemption for each and every. Powerful, yet extremely subtle interventions on the part of the director managed to bring the unspoken lines of the script to the audience. Truly a lesson in film making. Acting does not stand behind. Great and majestic cast of experienced craftsmen. All the actors gave their best at creating a perfect balance and making this five-story feature into a unique and highly integrated master piece. Last and definitely not least - Fantastic music! Aleksandar Simic rightfully takes the place as one of the authors in the film, spilling a wistful and bitter river of emotions right into the throats and hearts of the audience. As far as we can rate this work, it is a perfect ten. Bulls eye! Bravo!
Life in the Swamp
Pusan Film Festival Reviews 2: The Optimists (Goran Paskaljevic) Another pitch-black comedy from the director of "Cabaret Balkan," "The Optimists" is a similar gathering of loosely connected tales set in modern-day Serbia. In the film's gripping opening sequence a man drifts through a village completely submerged by floodwater and offers the gift of "optimism" via hypnosis to its depressed populace huddled in a warehouse; in the end of the segment he is revealed as a mental institute escapee. In another an enraged factory worker wants to kill his slick mobster boss after the boss rapes his daughter. The cops are all owned by the boss, none of the worker's friends offers to help him seek justice, and his wife pleads with him not to go through with anything rash ("What would we do if you're arrested?"). The man ends up apologizing to the boss for "offending" him, and getting his daughter to do the same - she'd bitten off part of the thug's ear as he was foisting himself on her, and she mumbles an apology for being so "inconsiderate." At turns horrible and funny, "The Optimists" suffers under the weight of what one imagines can only be the director's unkind view of his countrymen. It would seem that Serbs are stupidly optimistic despite whatever hell may befall them, and the country is a swamp (visualized in the film's opening segment) where crooks and con men rule. In the few instances of anyone showing genuine kindness, he who does so ends up getting screwed for it, and perhaps it's best that it remains every man for himself. The cynicism of the film leaves an unpleasant taste, though it does have some darkly hilarious stretches.
