5 Movies about Belgrade

Everyone does research before traveling somewhere. You want to get to know the city at least a little bit, before you actually get to know it. 

Most research is done by simply browsing through blogs, news articles and travel guides, and sure, that's a reliable way to get the basic info, but isn't it a bit boring? I mean, let's be honest, other than blogs written by people who actually visited the city, everything else is pretty much generic. I feel that every travel guide I ever looked at, was exactly the same, with names being the only things that are different.

I found a better, more interesting way - Movies. Not Hollywood blockbusters, but locally made movies with a more grounded setting. 

Why? Well because they give me a better understanding of how a particular city might feel and what the people might be like. They are, usually, heavily influenced by the culture of  that particular country and the characters are a lot like the people you might end up meeting when you go there. 

You can also pick up some important tips on how things are done over there, and what not to do - my trip to Japan, for example, would've been a lot different if I hadn't seen a ton of movies prior to going there. No, not anime, you can't learn anything from anime.

This intro is already much longer that I thought it would be, so let's just get right to it - Here are 5 movies that you should watch before coming to Belgrade. Or, you know, while you're in Belgrade. Maybe it's raining and you can't leave your apartment, I don't know.

1. Munje / Dudes (2001)

Dudes is about, well, dudes. Mare and Pop are best friends who are scheming they way to releasing their album - the first drum n bass record in Serbia. The whole movie takes place over the course of one night, intersected by flashback scenes that provide exposition. They're on their way to meet the guy they paid to produce the whole thing, and then things just start happening - the ride that was supposed to last 20 minutes, turns into a roller coaster, and they meet a ton of unique characters on the way. 

Why it's useful

Even though it was made over 15 years ago, it provides a pretty accurate depiction of what life is like for young people in Belgrade, while including all the essentials - Nightclubs, Belgrade house parties, everyday struggles and some truly memorable characters.

2. Nebeska udica / Skyhook (2000)

This one might be a bit difficult to watch, as it isn't a comedy, but a rather serious drama. The movie takes place during the aerial bombing of Belgrade in 1999, and depicts a group of people looking for a ray of hope in those dark times. The main character is Kaja, a basketball would've-been, that is now divorced, living with his mother and son, who has gone mute when the war broke out. Kaja and his friends decide that they've had enough of hiding in the shelters like rats, and decide to rebuild their favorite basketball court that was destroyed by a bomb.

Why it's useful

If  you've done any research on Belgrade, you've likely heard about the war and have wondered what it must've been like for regular people. Well, this is pretty much it. As someone who has lived through that war, I can honestly say that this is the most accurate portrayal you're going to find. It also depicts one more important aspect of Serbian culture - love for sports. When reality was so grim, so depressing, sports were often the only ray of light that gave people hope.

3. Rane / Wounds (1998)

This is not a happy movie, let me just say that. This is s straight-up crime / drama, set during the early 90's - arguably the worst period in modern Serbian history. It follows two teenagers, Svaba (Kraut) and Pinki (Pinky) on their rise in through the criminal underworld of Belgrade. At that time, future looked pretty hopeless, and young people were turning to the only thing that seemed prosperous - crime.

Why it's useful

This movie might seem like it's set in an alternate universe and you might not believe it, but this is what life in Belgrade was like, for the better part of the 90's. There are literally thousands of stories that started and ended just like this one. To understand Belgrade now, you have to know at least a little bit about it's turbulent past, and it doesn't get any more turbulent than this. It also serves as an important reminder to Serbian people of what real chaos looks like, and why it mustn't be allowed to return.

4. Montevideo, Bog te video! / Montevideo, God Bless You! (2010)

A true delight for any football fan, it tells a highly romanticized story of the Yugoslavian national football team making their way to the very first World Cup in 1930. It's a beautiful tale of childhood dreams and overcoming the obstacles that lie in the way of making those dreams come true. 

Why it's useful

This is Serbia's obsession with football at its finest. The clubs depicted in the movie were real clubs back in the day, but they really represent two of the biggest clubs in Belgrade today - Partizan and Red Star. When it's derby day, it's derby day - nothing else matters. Best friends become bitter rivals, going so far as not talking with each other on match day, but returning to normal and having a drink together, as soon as the game is finished.

5. Kad porastem bicu Kengur / When I grow up, I'll be a Kangaroo (2004)

People regard this movie as Dudes pt 2, even though it's not. It has the same director and a virtually identical cast, but all playing different characters. The movie tells a story of young people, in their thirties, who haven't really achieved anything in their lives and are just waiting for something  interesting to happen. And boy, does it happen - love, sports, money, friendship, betrayal, hope, disappointment and even one completely surreal thing, which I am not going to spoil for you, 'cause I'm nice like that. It consists of three parallel narratives that are interwoven in the funniest way possible.

Why it's useful

Aside from being very fun to watch, this is the most faithful depiction of Belgrade and its people, as they live and breathe today. If you socialize with the natives during your visit, you are sure to meet a lot of people who bear striking resemblance to these characters. It also introduces one more crucial aspect of modern Serbian folklore - Sports betting. This is a considered a science in modern-day Serbia and a regular source of income for everyone who's out of a job.

After you book your flight and do a thorough search for cheap apartments for rent in Belgrade, take some time and watch these movies - I guarantee they'll be both fun and enlightening. You can find most of them online, with English subtitles, some even for free on YouTube. Sure, there are other great movies about Serbian people out there, but these, I feel, best represent the spirit of Belgrade and the lives of us regular folks living here.
