Kako ubiv svetec

How I Killed a Saint

Energetic new cinema is forged in cultures in crisis. A promising début feature tells the story of a young woman returning from America to discover the realities of life in Macedonia, that looks as if it will explode with all the soldiers, corrupt crooks and terrorist idealists. How I killed a Saint is one of several new features from the Balkans that suggest that the urgent need to make films dealing with the terrible conflicts of our time may lead to the emergence of a new generation of talented film makers. (Simon Field)

Mitevskas Spielfilmdebüt zeichnet das überzeugende Porträt eines Landes, das an seinen inneren Konflikten zu ersticken droht. Es zeigt Menschen, zermürbt von andauernder Ungewissheit und plötzlichen Gewaltausbrüchen: So verbirgt auch Kokans jugendliche Arroganz, seine scheinbar coole Radikalität, nichts anderes als ein tiefes Bedürfnis nach Identität.","technik_farbe":"color","world_sales":"","filmtitel_en":"How I Killed a Saint","screenplay":"Matthew Bardin, Teona Strugar Mitevska","producers_countries":"","production_company_country":"Sisters and Brother Mitevski Produktion F.
