Filmhouse/New Kalamata Cinema Club: The Balkan Spy/“Balkanski spijun”
Spread the word
On Thursday, August 10th (at 21:30), the film "Balkanski Spijun" will be screened by the "Filmhouse/New Cinema Club of Kalamata".
An ex-Stalinist who spent several years in prison becomes involved in a paranoid, vicious cycle when he becomes convinced that his tenant, a businessman who, after twenty years in Paris, has returned to Belgrade to open a tailor shop, is a spy and an enemy of the state.
Serbian playwright, screenwriter and director Dušan Kovačević, through his film, which is undoubtedly one of the funniest films ever made in Yugoslavia, teaches comedy lessons, indirectly saying that the secret to the success of a comedy is wit.
And indeed, with an impressively clever and original script, brilliant dialogues, and relentless humour led by the delightful Bata Stojković, one of Serbia's most famous actors, in one of the most representative examples of the genre.
