| User ReviewMario JI had to see this one. It was the last showing in my town tonight, so it just had to be done. It's a Serbian film and it's based on real events at the end of 70's, about a guy who stole a white Porsche and drove police crazy for 10 whole days. :) Film was good, like most of Serbian films. It was something between a documentary and a played film. Loved how they portrayed the old Belgrade and how they got lot's of Zastavas (a car that was produced in Yugoslavia at that time). The acting in the played part wasn't that good, so that's why it didn't get 5 stars. But otherwise it's a great film. |
| User Reviewemilia lSpeculations about "the belgrade phantom". I enjoyed watching it. |
| User ReviewVuka?in RI very much enjoyed this film/documentary about the so called Belgrade Phantom, who I unfortunately never heard of until now. Good acting and the characters feel true. The footage is also well-made and at least for a foreigner as me it seems to pretty much reassemble the feeling of a Belgrade in the late 1970s. I like how original footage was mixed to the story as well as the commentaries, telling of the legend in retrospect. I strongly recommend this one! |
