Three Summer Days (1997) User Reviews

Good movie from Serbia, not a masterpiece, but still good

[mila271 · 7/10 · 1 September 2008]

Here we have an average movie from Serbia (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia back then) Story about two refugees from Croatia (Republic of Srpska Krajina then - who escaped from Croatian terror and find themselves in Belgrade) In times when Serbia was full of Serb refugees from other parts of former Yugoslavia, like Bosnia and Croatia) Fine picture of Serbia from mid 1990's (1995-1996) these 2 guys working at the beach, renting parasols. They somehow try to survive, working "on black" like thousands of others these years. Story is simple, involving young girl who is trapped in prostituion and crime. They try to help her, anyway she is deeply unhappy and whole story is tragic. I can't see why some people is giving low marks for this movie, it is average Balkan story, well produced and filmed. Nice role of Slavko Stimac and M.Jokovic,too. If you stumble on this movie, and interested in Balkan region, don't miss it! I gave 7 out of 10

A sad movie

This movie is about Serbian refugees from Bosnia and Croatia and how they lived and still do in Serbia. How they are treated as second ranged people and still are!! With no future in site.

It is about the sad life and daily struggles in a mind of people who lost everything and are given nothing. About people who fled their homes, who escaped hell and came to Serbia. There they were blamed for the war and the horrible situation the whole of Balkan was in at that time.

This might be "boring crap" like my previous commentator described it. But to me , a Serbian refugee from Bosnia is bloody well relevant!

Boring crap.

I've never seen a film as boring as Three Days.

It breaks down like this:

Lowbudget, dull footage of docks and boats, two guys and two girls who have about 3 lines of dialogue each (In the ENTIRE movie).

That's it.

Really.
