East Side Stories 2010 / Director: Vladimir Perisic
Ordinary People
A noteworthy debut for writer-director Vladimir Perisic, Serbian war pic Ordinary People is the latest adherent to French helmer Bruno Dumont's school of minimalist aesthetics and barbaric human behavior as it follows a squad of soldiers who spend a summer afternoon massacring hordes of unarmed men. Abstractly brutal take on Yugoslav conflict will likely turn off some viewers, while others will appreciate Perisic's unquestionable talent for finding beauty within bloodshed. - Serbian-born Perisic reveals both the subtle beauties of a quiet afternoon in the country and the way in which something as horrifying as mass execution can appear, on the surface, to be completely banal.
