"LOVE" FOR ALL SCREENS

"Love" is the second full-featured film of Serbian director Vladan Nikolic, who has been for some time living and working in Belgrade . This film is as absurd as a movie can be absurd and full of coincidences. "Uncle Vanja" (Sergej Trifunovic) is a former member of elite units of the former Yugoslav People's Army during the war in the former Yugoslavia who lives in New York doing what he does best: he is a contract killer. He doesn't know if he is a Serb, Croat or Muslim, but he does know that no man is good or bad just by himself. In constant quest for some new identity, he is always facing the past haunting him to remind him who he is and where he comes from.

Just like Vanja, his former wife and eternal love Ana, her fiancé Dirk (a policeman who wants to become a writer), all the other characters in the film are doing what they are doing, believing to be defending love - which does not have to be erroneous from their individual points of view. All of them are in the swirl of the parallel New York reality, Manhattan is not their world; their world is something they think exists somewhere, an ideal "normal" world which they aspire to.

The director and writer of "Love" is Vladan Nikolic, who has also edited the film. The chief producer was Jim Stark, in cooperation with
