Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Nada Skrinjar is my mother's first cousin and it was in researching my family roots that I discovered her IMDb page. I found this film online and watched it several times. It reminds me of "The Red Violin" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120802/ in that it centers around an instrument and its effect on different people who owned and played it. I do not understand Croatian, but the drama transcended language and I was touched by its tragic love story.
