ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Winner of the FIPRESCI Prize for Best Film at the 1998 Venice Film Festival, CABARET BALKAN, from Director Goran Paskaljevic, follows citizens of Belgrade as they interact with one another on a night ripe with crime, frustration, betrayal and revenge. Roger Ebert raved, "Of all the movies about all the tragic places where old hatreds fester over ethnic, racial and religious animosity, this is the angriest, and therefore possibly the bravest."

SYNOPSIS

On a harsh winter night in Belgrade, Serbia, an ex-con working as a taxi driver (Nebojsa Glogovac) has a series of bizarre encounters with tragic passengers from all walks of life, each a part of a patchwork of stories. Elsewhere, Ana (Mirjana Jokovic) survives a bus hijacking, only to find herself caught between a drug dealer and an angry boyfriend. And on the other side of town, passionate showman Boris (Nikola Ristanovski) struggles to entertain a tough crowd in a smoky cabaret.
