Velký respekt (2008)
Good Slovak film after a long time
Hi, I saw this low-budget film at Febiofest 2009 film festival at Prague and I liked it much. The trailer was terrible, so I was hesitating to see the movie, but I was quite amused at the end. The main topics is every-day life of ordinary boys at the biggest quarter of post-socialistic blocks of flats - Petrzalka - and coming-out of one of them. The movie is very funny and quite realistic too. It describes real life-style of many young men from today's Petrzalka in the slang typical for this quarter (which makes it even more fun for Slovak native-speakers). In spite of the gay topic the film remains funny and it is not offensive. Tomas
Go West (2005)
Film about homosexual relation from Balcan - wow
I saw this film and discussion with regiseur at Int. Film Festival 2005 in Bratislava. There were some moments in the film especially at the beginning that confused me - I did not know if it is a comedy or tragedy... The great thing is that such film was created in BiH & Serbia. Homosexuality is not a usual topic there and I hope this film could move things forward and force people at Balcan to think and talk about tolerance with connection to homosexuals and in connection with other nationalities too. I have seen some documentaries from Belegrad about life of gays there. It was very depressing and the message was the same like in this film - go west, don't stay at Balcan. I hope that things are going to improve in Balcan countries and gay-rights will be closer to European standards or they will be at least improving that way. Tomas
