Leslie Felperin Variety 02/12/2009
Flashback-threaded tale of a half-Serbian, half-Albanian immigrant living in Gaul is an incoherent, mostly poorly acted muddle that doesn't even look very good, despite the work of normally ace lenser Thierry Arbogast. Go to Full Review

05/08/2020 I have never been so grossly disappointed and meanwhile so utterly disgusted that someone could actually publish this piece of junk movie. I never give reviews but this is one I had to warn watchers about. Save yourself from the disappointment. See more 11/14/2014 all elements of a good movie were combined in this masterpiece the songs, the trans between Serbia & Marseilles, actors choice, the potion of Action, Sex, Blood everything in this movie express about a good director who run that with a good well-controlled eye I hope to repeat that again See more 03/23/2012 Disappointing. Could have been a great illustration of the savagery of the Balkans civil war, and war in general, and its effects on the people stuck in the middle. Does cover that, and quite graphically at times, but this gets mixed up with other, more minor, plots. The jumping back-and-forth between three or four time periods doesn't help the coherence of the story at all. Makes the movie quite confusing, and dulls the punches of the war scenes. Decent performances though. Rie Rasmussen is great, and gorgeous, in the lead role. Nikola Djuricko is suitably menacing as Srdjan. See more 02/17/2012 Big disappointment. Not what I expected at all. The movie doesn't have one particular topic. It's about the conflict in the old Yugoslavia, about the life of an immigrant in France, about organized crime, about relationship issues, etc. It gets lost in many topics and doesn't exploit none well. See more 11/23/2011 This movie is very violent. See more 04/22/2011 Impressed that the lead actress (Rie) directed, edited and acted in the movie... Keeps you engrossed the whole 2 hrs, Beautifully portraying the flash backs in kosovo with the present Marseille. See more Read all reviews
