Clip

no problem

hey

Directed by a female director, 'Klip' is, I think, the first Serbian film I have ever seen. It is about a teenage girl with a dull home life who fills her days by taking drugs, getting drunk and having explicit sex with the local bully. And that's about it; there is no conventional 'beginning, middle and an end' story. The lead actress is stunningly attractive and the chap who plays the bully (he has a hint of Ryan Reynolds about him) has a great career in * ahead of him if mainstream acting doesn't work out... the very final shot of the film - I will not spoil things by revealing it here - is most depressing as it illustrates how little respect the young protagonist has for herself.

When I started watching this movie I could not but think that this is a brilliant art-movie. I like these films consider the problems of society in a very realistic way and without hesitation. Since I live in Serbia, I absolutely understand the message that the movie sends. This is our reality, not so great but it is a reality for some to admit it or not. My rating for this movie is pure 10 with five stars! I recommend everyone to see this film and wonder in what kind of environment we live. This movie does not propagate immorality. Just shows what today's teenagers like in Serbia, but also in other countries..

Idea to show parents what there kids do when they aren't with them is good and true. But there are lot of scenes what are very brutal and made for * movie not a movie of this genre. If you are young or you don't have kids this movie is not what you would want to watch, if you on other hand have kids, maybe its not good to watch it ether.... As far i understand most of scenes were made by try story. I only don't understand the movie title, also trailer is not that good, it give feeling that movie is cam recorded. Good side of movie is that camera team did great job, lot of scenes where made very good. 10th line. Why they didn't use some familiar actors and actress. In my opinion this will be bad start for new fresh actors.

I wanted to write this review after reading some of reviews of other people here. I deeply feel that is not easy to empathize with movie and situation Jasna is and although storyline isn't complicated (it is rather straightforward) the message movie is carrying is still here and it is very loud. Once you can immerse into the lives of girls and boys in the movie and empathize with them message is actually overwhelming. I feel that Maja Miloš made one of the best Serbian movies ever (and I watched most of them). Director was able to deeply understand our troubled society and how young people is adapting (or at least trying to) to its surroundings. Isidora gave flawless role and very special touch to the whole movie (I guess that she had good insight in the life of the people at her age). Maja, Isidora, Vukašin and all others involved into this movie I wish to congratulate you and just hope that Serbian cinema can find the strength to follow breakthrough this movie made in socially engaged cinema genre in Serbia.

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.

As opposed to scores that you see, this film is a great piece of cinema. I guess that such a low scoring may be a result of two kinds of misunderstanding. First being the lack of knowledge, or lack of interest in Serbian mass-culture after the fall of the Berlin wall. Second, more profound one, could be being caught in the whirlpool of that culture, and not seeing it for what it really is. Although tempted, I will say nothing more, in order not to spoil your viewing. You should see this film. I delayed it for a long time, but when I finally saw it, I was very much thrilled.

When society is shaken in its foundations, and its people is lost in extreme life treating situations like (job lose, starvation, economy crisis, where corrupted police and government are the mafia, etc), the one way for dealing with problems is escaping reality. Youth in Serbia confronted with that situations and reality, with no hope for escape or better times, try to lose themselves in every day usage of opiates like alcohol and drugs. With stimulants no other than false idols, and culture of pap, they trap themselves in meaningless relationships of lust and sex. Parents and elders, often just happy to have healthy children, that made it through the day, are blind to sings of moral degradation and delinquency. And finally, in society like that (Serbia from '90 to today 2013), where culture is failing to enrich and refine someones existence, the only purpose of art and artists are to shock and stun to awake and show the obvious. So watch this movie and see the realistic display of dying nation. (mark for realistic movie 10, but 6 for production and cast- final 8)

A boring, clumsy movie, with a very bad aesthetic. It is about a story which leads to nothing and, its dimensions reach the nihilism. I do not know which positive element we can find in this movie. We think that a director has to realize the fact that his movie addresses a public who has a certain sensibility. Unfortunately it is not the case of Maja Milos. In this film we can find indecent scenes and a weft of story which ends in nothing cannot convince us on the value of this movie. Let us hope that in the future we shall attend a more positive creation.However, we can indicate a positive point: Serbia is a little known country and the spectator can get into the universe of this country, even if this movie is not representative. We see a Greek influence in the music which establishes(constitutes) an interesting version of the nowadays dances
