Review of Sky Hook

Sky Hook (2000)
6/10
When you put it out of the Belgrade suburbia 1999, you get a perfect story about the absurd, about the war and the devotion to life

There is a great symbolism behind this story. The young kid, the basketball fever and the basket itself, are a great metaphor. I mean, the reason to live, the fact that you are doing something, goes beyond any patriotism and nationalism.

When love meets the fear, when the joy becomes sadness and when you are on the edge, trying to re-discover life..

In my opinion this is one of the few newer Serbian movies that are nationalism-free. They even mention Michael Jordan.. When you put it out of the Belgrade suburbia 1999, you get a perfect story about the absurd, about the war and the devotion to life.

Strong emotion, not pathetic at all. Plus, superb camera and superb music by Vlatko Stefanovski.

10/10 from me.
