Country: Serbia
Review: “Tilva Ros” is a dissimulated documentary turned
into independent drama. The movie was shot in Bor, Serbia, a small town that in
the past was considered the biggest copper mine in Europe. Nikola Lezaic, also
a native from Bor, decided to make a movie about two friends, Toda and Stefan,
who are skaters in a group named “Kolos”. Despite their friendship, they are
constantly competing about a girl named Dunja who arrived from France for
holidays. Most of the time they're doing small-videos about radical jumps,
auto-mutilation, beatings and random destruction, to get her attention. The
movie shows a particular way of living, pointing how the living conditions and
choices will take them to different paths. “Tilva
Ros” may seem aimless at the first sight, but a closer look will make you
conclude that this is a curious study about youth and their ambitions, in an isolated town.
