Storyline

Jasna is a teenage girl living in the poor suburbs in the south of Belgrade, Serbia. She likes to record everything around her using a mobile phone camera. She is making videos of herself, her school friends, family and Djole - the boy of her dreams. Her family is a mess: father is terminally ill and mother is barely coping. That's why she is spending more and more time hanging out with her school friends, partying and drinking. At one of the parties, she finally starts a conversation with Djole and later they develop an intense sexual relationship. When he realizes that she will do anything to be close to him, Djole starts using her as a sexual object. Jasna starts to experiment with drugs and to skip school. Her life is getting out of control and she needs Djole to accept and reciprocate her affections.

User Reviews

a rather weak attempt at coming-of-age drama

The message of Klip/Clip is straightforward: Today's youths are growing up into the world of violence, promiscuity, alcohol and drugs. However, if you ignore the shock value of explicit sex scenes there's not much left to talk about. Every possible cliché has been pulled out: Unleashed neglected kids are in the limelight, their struggling wimp parents and incompetent teachers being somewhat marginalized.

Klip/Clip adopts the aesthetics of a documentary in an attempt to amplify the message and presumably to reduce production costs. The result resembles director's cut of a random reality show with some outrageous extra footage not suitable for airing on TV. This is still not bad in itself, but the social commentary stays at tabloid newspaper level: An impotent mirror image of a society gone wild. As if the authors' craved the attention and forgot about the plot and its importance.

The cast had much more potential than seen on the screen. Just as an example, the main male protagonist is a rapper with considerable credibility in Serbian hip-hop circles. His role depicts rather literally what his songs are about. I expected more than the obvious in this case, especially since according to media appearance he is not a thug but his alter ego is more of a stage persona.
