Milica Tomovic on Sarajevo Industry Prizewinner ‘Big Women’ and Why Audiences Are Afraid of ‘Bad’ Women ‘Who Do Bad Things’
The Serbian director's follow-up to her Berlin premiere 'Celts' is a road-trip dramedy about a close-knit friendship between two women behaving badly.
Reviewing the “lively, auspicious, all-in-one-night debut” at that summer’s Sarajevo fest, where it won best director honors for Tomović, Variety ’s Guy Lodge described the film as “a cleverly grafted feat of personal-as-political filmmaking, fueled equally by nostalgia for innocence and a wryer sense of good riddance to bad times.” The company is also minority co-producing Slovenian director by Urška Djukić’s coming-of-age story “Little Trouble Girls,” awarded at Les Arcs’ works-in-progress section last year, as well as “Wondrous is the Silence of My Master,” Montenegrin filmmaker Ivan Salatić’s anticipated follow-up to his Venice Critics’ Week premiere “You Have the Night.” Meanwhile, veteran Portuguese scriptwriter and Miguel Gomes collaborator Mariana Ricardo (“Grand Tour”) has come on board to co-write Serbian director Marko Grba Singh’s “Forget the Ocean, Why Not Try Surfing These Insane River Waves,” which won the Eurimages Co-Production Development Award in Sarajevo in 2021.
