Oaza
Oasis
An unadorned three-way love story set within the joyless confines of a Serbian institute for people with mental disabilities, it is an unsparing though enrichingly shot tragedy, and its three young stars, as well as most of the background cast, are learning-disabled residents of the facility in real life. Ivan Ikić (BARBARIANS) turns a documentary style fiction into an engaging narrative that expertly shows that while their circumstances are markedly different in a lot of ways these are teens just like any others. That includes raging hormones and highly emotional reactions. (Jessica Kiang, Marc van de Klashorst)
