Cult,Classic,Experimental and rare movies from all over the world.: Vladimir Blazevski

Synopsis: A love story between a teenager girl and a small time mob set in Belgrade during the times of great political turmoil. “May you live in interesting times”. Vladimir Blazevski, writer and director of 1992 Yugoslav drama BULEVAR REVOLUCIJE, lived in one of those times. The old system was crumbling but new order hasn’t been properly established. This explains why this film looked so outdated when it arrived in Croatian video stores in late 1990s.
Protagonist of the film is Biljana, 17-year old high school student from Belgrade who lives with her father, a policeman (played by Miralem Zupcevic), in a tiny dilapidated house in the poor section of the city. The family, already traumatised by the suicide of Biljana’s grandmother, is shaken again when Biljana becomes target of street thugs. Rescue comes in the form of Dragan (played by Branislav Lecic), one of the Belgrade underworld bosses. He falls madly in love with Biljana, just like she falls in love with her prince charming. Yet, Dragan, for some strange reason, wants to keep the liaison strictly platonic. All that means little to Biljana’s father who see it as personal humiliation.
