In the Middle of Nowhere

I just watched the series "Dug moru" and I remembered the moment when I fell in love with Bojana Maljevic. No, it wasn't in her movie "Bulevar Revolucije", but in this one, "Ni na nebu ni na zemlji". But I'm not sure, maybe it was in "Otvorena vrata". Anyhow, I adore this movie.

If any movie can touch the human soul and feelings it's this movie. With so much emotion with so much bitterness in it but with a little heat that is found somewhere, g.Radivojevic showed a hopelessness and tragedy events in Yugoslavia in the mid-nineties. No one with such precision either before or after, failed to show the current state of mind and events during this time but only Milos Radivojevic. G.Radivojeviću thank you for this movie, however it was so complicated and the time in which it occurred. Time, which I hope will never come back from a time when growing up too fast, where all the power going. I hope it's gone forever.

Although immersed in a turbulent period of Yugoslavia, the movie itself can be transposed to the ubiquitous timeline. Taking that into account, it isn't solely picture of society caught in the midst of wartime; yes, it's depicting people on the brink of (mental) existence, trapped in society engulfed in crime and all kind of frauds but, on the other hand, it's an universal story about different types of people, here caught in one specific momentum which unearths their wishes and fears - their tragic.

A compositional scheme of a story is a bit scattered, as some kind of mosaic. It can be seen as a flaw but that enables, at least rough, sketch of all characters.

Actors itself are brilliant, as ordered for characters. Most noticable is Svetozar Cvetkovic, which acting in this movie can be compared to the ones of highest, and finest, level. Nonetheless, Bojana Maljevic is a great choice which gives that complementary note needed to completely illuminate Svetozar's character.

Worth of mentioning is music - songs of Momcilo Bajagic Bajaga are such a complementary element to the atmosphere.

Thanks to this masterpiece, mr. Milos Radivojevic!

This is one of the best Yugoslovenian movies ever.

Beautifully filmed, beautifully composed and colorful movie. Great music, and outstanding actors. It's a classic drama of the lives of young people who live in a war-torn country of Serbia. However, the plot itself didn't hold my attention and at the end it didn't touch my feelings at all. But kudos to Bojana Maljevic, a huge talent!
