Describing the film as being composed of just one 80 minute shot taken by a web cam quality camera would be enough to switch off most people from wanting to see it. Yet Death of a Man in the Balkans is a totally original, ingenious, inventive and LOL hilarious movie.
An artist kills himself in front of his computer's web cam (which is switched on). A succession of people who enter the flat following the suicide, including neighbors,undertaker, police, pizza delivery man, are not aware that the camera is on and their behavior and comments, though very funny, also reflect their true characters. The direction and acting are exactly right and nothing is out of place. A small gem which is definitely worth seeking out.
