PismoGlava

In this competent yet conventional film, a young man gets out of the army, goes to Sarajevo to work at a construction site, and then new and unscrupulous companions convince him to sell his late father's farm and invest in a dubious nightclub venture. On his way to growing up and getting to learn the ways of the world, he also experiences his first love.The theme of the two sides of the coin runs all the way through the movie, and manifests itself in many ways, from the ups and downs in the life of a minor character who hawks lottery tickets, to the contrast between the two young women in the movie, an angel and a temptress. The cinematography in this film is very creative and beautifully done and worth paying attention to, as is some of the phallic symbolism. Filmed in Sarajevo, it's a heartbreaking reminder of how beautiful this city was before it was decimated by the war.It's the story of a young man from the country who having finished his military service decides to try make a life for himself in the city. He goes to work for a construction firm and in the process of doing some road repairs in front of a hairdressers meets the two girls who own the shop, the blonde shy"nice girl""Cice", wonderfully played by Vladica Milosavljevic, and the more out-going and worldly"Finke". It takes you through the ups and downs of his life, his entanglements with the girls and the death of his father.Mira plays"Finke", and she's so very good at being bad. I love"Finke", she's wild, uninhibited, totally spontaneous, and a little wicked. She changes her hairstyle as often as she changes the men in her life, and she goes through those like water. One of those women who usually gets what she wants, but sometimes not what she bargained for.An early example of Mira's work, however, she's already established a style and a presence that is all her own and this film is well worth watching for any Mira fan.
