Sinekatalog’s take
Aleksandar Petrović's film tells three wartime episodes in Yugoslavia, each showing a man facing death and questioning what lies beyond. Austere and poetic, with Bata Živojinović, it is an Oscar-nominated meditation on mortality.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
