3/10
Forced humor and pretentious direction
28 August 2005
The film was screened in the competition of the 11th Sarajevo film festival (2005) and it betrayed expectations. It's a false comedy based on the novel written by Croatian journalist and writer Ante Tomic. Unoriginal love story between the young widow and a catholic priest is dressed with mockery with peasants from southern Croatia and their characteristics. A lot of jokes (mainly old ones and already seen in Serbian movies) without necessary film totality. Hribar's direction makes efforts to looks like "american" and the result is miserable. The actors are fine (mostly). The best is Zrinka Cvitesic, young and good looking actress. The photography is the best part of this movie.
