DIsregard previous comment, regard user rating!

I saw the film two times in the movie theater and couldn't believe the previous comment! This is definitely one of the best Serbian films, especially in the last 15 years. This person must have personal reasons for his comment, because all of the reviews in the media, and what I heard people saying, including me is that this film is wonderful. Great mix of documentary and fiction, wonderful actors that really look like the authentic people, fantastic pictures, i loved it! I know the story of the Fantom from my parents, and it really didn't disappoint my expectations. Again, opposed to the previous comment, one of the strongest points of the film is the atmosphere, the actors, the photography and the interviews which are a true delight no only to me, but the whole movie theater was overwhelmed by their charm and wits. Sorry, but i recommend this film not only to those interested in Serbian film, but anyone in search of good cinema.
