FINE MRTVE
DJEVOJKE (Fine Dead Girls) 2002. Croatia. Directed by Dalibor
Matanic. With Olga Pakalovic, Nina Violic, Inge Appelt, Kresimir
Mikic, Ivica Vidovic.
A report
of a kidnapped child triggers an investigation that uncovers
nightmarish conditions in a seedy apartment building in Zagreb.
When the residents learn the truth about each other, the pervasive
climate of mistrust in the building explodes into violence.
This fast-paced and well-directed feature evinces vivid echoes
of Croatia’s troubled recent history. In Croatian, English
subtitles. 77 min.

TA DIVNA
SPLITSKA NOC (A Wonderful Night in Split) 2004. Croatia. Written
and directed by Arsen Anton Ostojic. With Dino Dvornik, Marinko
Prga, Mladen Vulic, Marija Skaricic. Set in a ghetto in the
medieval city of Split, several parallel stories unfold between
ten o’clock and midnight on New Year’s Eve, as crowds
gather in the old square to listen to a rock concert. Drugs
and violence con-spire to unravel the barely intersecting lives
in this Quentin Tarantino–inspired tale of marginalized
characters hardened by war and overpowering social misery. In
Croatian, English; English subtitles. 100 min.
