BULLETS MISS THE FOOL
(NOREGA SE METEK OGNE)
2005, Mitja Novljan, Slovenia, 80 min.
With Uros Potocnik, Petra Zupan
“Surprisingly raunchy sex-comedy-drama beguiles and appeals with its freewheeling style.”--Neil Young’s Film Lounge
The loose, brisk style of the storytelling is half the fun in a film that offers surprising twists. An arty young couple with serious money woes (loan sharks have already broken the husband’s legs) sublet half their apartment to another couple, a waiter and his pregnant wife. Domestic adjustments will be made, especially when the gangsters close in. In Slovene with English subtitles. 35mm print courtesy of the Ministry of Public Affairs, Republic of Slovenia. (BS)
