Necista krv: Greh predaka (2021)
A tremendous adaptation
I had no expectations coming into cinema knowing that some previous adaptations of this exact piece of literature hadn't really been that successful. However, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised, because the newest adaptation of Necista krv (or Bad Blood) is nearly flawless in variety of aspects. First of all, sound was terrific, a revelation for me, having been used to terrible sound techniques of Serbian cinema. Cinematography is, perhaps, one of the best ones I've seen in years, whoever is the person who stood behind this should receive an applause from honest moviegoers. Now, acting was very good and frequently criticized young actors performed significantly better than they had before. Direction was also very solid. All in all, a fantastic film and you should definitely check it out.
Once Upon a Time in America (1984)
ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE
I came across this film last year and I constantly delayed watching it, because I thought I didn't have enough time and patience to watch. Oh, how foolish I was. This is the last film by master Sergio Leone, whose filmmaking knowledge is almost god-like, and what a way to finish one's career. It contains probably the cruelest depiction of mafia I've ever seen and it is as realistic as it should be. One of the themes of this film is friendship and bond that these guys once had. As their bond was broken, nothing remained the same. This is a valuable lesson, indeed. Shame on WB studio which cut this masterpiece and made blurry and tragic version without any flashbacks, which ruined Leone's reputation and career. Again, this film is an absolute pleasure and I can't wait to see it again!
