CHARLESTON AND VENDETTA Serbian Fantasy Movie

Charleston and Vendetta - Sonja Kolacaric and Katarina Radivojevic

Made on a budget that exceeds €4 million (about US$6 million), the movie was shot during summer 2005. It then went into a long post-production due to specific CGI requirements. Reportedly it contains 40 minutes worth of special effects. The official website discovered that the whole thing had been redesigned and down at the bottom of the page was the logo of Luc Besson’s Europa Corp. Besson knows a good thing when he sees it.
The movie’s plot is set during 1920s in post-World War I Serbia. Rebuilding after a gruelling armed conflict in which it lost a sizable part of its young male population. The situation is especially visible in certain rural parts where this shortage of men threatens to extinguish life completely. Two sisters, Ognjenka (Sonja Kolačarić) and Mala Boginja (Katarina Radivojević) from a fictional Pokrp village that has no males of marrying age set off for the city in search of good men to bring home. Uroš Stojanović‘s debut showed maturity in stylistic composition of a comedy that contains patterns of quite a few genres – from melodrama to fantasy with brilliant photography, grandiose sequences and costumes and computer generated imagery that stands up to anything seen in other great-looking movies. Directed by Uroš Stojanović and co-written by Aleksandar Radivojević & Stojanović, ‘Charleston and Vendetta’ was released in Serbia following a January 30, 2008 premiere in Belgrade, Serbia. Starring: Katarina Radivojevic, Sonja Kolacaric, Olivera Katarina, Stefan Kapicic, Nenad Jezdic
”Serbia in the 1920s, after The First World War – a beautiful, brutal land, suspended between East and West, between ancient magic and the forces of civilization. High in the mountains of this mysterious, battle-scarred country lays the village of Pokrp, whose men folk have been eradicated by generations of war. A village of lovelorn women, starving for men. When sisters Little Boginja and Ognjenka inadvertently kill Pokrp’s sole surviving male, a death sentence at the hands of the womenfolk seems certain. But they are granted a reprieve, on the condition that they find a living, virile man and bring him back to the village. Under the watchful eye of their grandmother’s soul, the feisty but innocent pair set out into the big, wide world. Lust, love, a hot-headed strongman and Belgrade’s lecherous dance hall king await them…”
