TA DIVNA SPLITSKA
NOC / A WONDERFUL NIGHT IN SPLIT
Croatia 2004
Director: Arsen Anton Ostojic, 100 MIN
Artfully photographed in black-and-white, this low budget film narrates
the last two hours in the lives of three couples before the new-years-eve
fireworks in Split. The small dealer Nike has just abandoned the single
mother and widow Maria to vanish to Germany with a shipment of drugs –
a plan that fatally backfires. Maja, who urgently needs money for her
next fix, is supposed to prostitute herself for the depressive US-Marine
Franky (played by Coolio). And the teenagers Luka and Angela want to lose
their virginity under the influence of LSD before midnight. A smart screenplay
ties all three stories to an expertly made film noir. Received the Special
Award for Mirko Pivcevic’s camerawork in Cottbus.
