I saw this movie in Montenegro on Herceg Novi Film Festival. I heard something about it, but it wasn't much, actually i kinda like the bad reviews, sometimes those movies are the best. But i was surprised. This is beside ''Serbian movie'' THE stupidest i have ever seen. I liked camera shots, acting, screenplay, but story-incredible stupid. Why?
First if you are making movie about problem in society (and directors words were that this was the case), you need to show why and what is wrong! You want to see punishment on such a behavior (like maybe Jasna become a junkie, or expelled from high school, got pregnant etc.), because this is what happens to Jasna-like behavior. Instead, all we see is crazy 16 year old girl, playing with sexuality (normal for this age) without consequences.
OK, then lets say director didn't meant (for serious) said things. Maybe Maja Milos wanted to shake ppl, to do something that was never done. In that case, this is very very poor movie. Scenes of sex are not as closely shocking, girl is 16 years old, that is young but not THAT young. I have done crazier things at that age. She is dating with guy only 2y older. So she likes to shoot herself, she is a bit stupid, big deal. What is shocking! Little butt? Not. Show me girl that is pure innocency (except nuns). During those years we all get burn cause we are constantly learning.
So, its not instructively. Its not shocking. Word is poor.
