He hopes to reunite with her, but knows the chances are such that they never will. After a series of disasterous dates, from a computer dating service, he finally meets and falls in love with the beautiful Romana. This lovely and funny romantic film shows refugees trying to eke out a normal life against the strange and scary landscape of a post-war country. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Ivana Bolanca is definitely easy on the eyesThis is (what some would consider) a "chick flick"--and I wouldn't disagree. I don't ordinarily go for this type of romantic comedy, but the time and setting (mid '90s post-war Belgrade) and the fact the story deals with a couple of refugees trying (in their own way) to get by and find a bit of happiness, some normalcy in their existance, makes it the exception. And, of course, there is the truly gorgeous Ivana Bolanca. The lady is sexy and sweet and charismatic--without ever being in your ... Read More Rating: - Loving Glances Backwards And ForwardsI can't say I really liked this film, but at the same time I can encourage others who are curious about it to rent it. It is the story of a young man and woman who are looking for each other, and who are developing other romantic relationships at the same time. The type of comedy in this film did not often make me laugh, but the film might be very funny to other people. The movie's storytelling device of adding new spirits (people from the main character's pasts) as literal observers ... Read More Rating: - sweet and positiveThis touching Serbian film deftly portrays the tragedy and confusion of the post-war Balkans, and does so with unfailing lightness and humor. Belgrade, in the late 90's, became the refuge of a cascade of displaced persons, like handsome young Labud (swan) and Romana. They have enlisted the services of a match-maker to help them find companions. The story is an old one - how the young couple find, lose, and ultimately keep one another - so the charm and interest of the film ...

He lives in a shelter and does odd jobs to make ends meet. He wants to reconnect with his old flame a hairdresser by trade named Vida who managed to escape after the war to Chicago. Swan tries meeting girls in Belgrade but most ignore him and look the other way. His last hope is to join a computer dating service, Happy Millenium. He provides details of what interests him and what he is looking for in the opposite ... Read More Rating: - Imaginative, Literary Romantic Comedy--a first class effortfirst-class effort by Radivoje Andric, a young Serb director about couples in love during the Yugoslav conflict. At times sentimental, the story and incidents are original, imaginative and the characters are great too. A Serb intellectual who lives a desolate life as a political refugee in Belgrade misses his girlfriend who has emigrated to America. He imagines that his girlfriend is with her to keep him company, and then he imagines a whole cast of people from his past to keep him company during his homeless ... Read More |
