A true masterpiece of Serbian cinema explaining to the core a 600 year old feud between Serbian Muslims and Serbian Orthodox Christians, and also a great story written by Vuk Draskovic that doesn't fail to entertain anyone and leaves no one without a comment and strong reaction. The story is true, realistic, painful, historically accurate and backed by strong historical facts.Zarko Lausevic provided a extraordinary performance. Vojin Cetkovic, Petar Bozovic, Bojana Maljevic also provided quality performances. Miroslav Lekic proves once again he is a director that deserves respect.I recommend this movie to everyone.

This film follows almost 100 years of geopolitical fight in what used to be former Yugoslavia.Since that country was created on December 1, 1918 geopolitical fight for territory and power started and it is still present today.This film follows that pattern and it is based on a novel by Vuk Draskovic, Serb novelist and politician.I am not very fond of this film, simply because we who live on the territory of what used to be Yugoslavia are mostly sick and tired of that geopolitical religious crap. So I will just throw this film into the waste bin and try to forget all about it.If you are interested in the former Yugoslavia this is a film for you, otherwise skip it.

One of the most powerful films ever made.The story is very true, realistic, convincing, complex and painful.There is very little things to say about it. This is one of the movies after which you can't stop thinking about the story for a very long time.Along with another masterpieces "Pretty Village, Pretty Flame", "The Trap", "The Wounds", "Hadersfild".....Hopefully everyone will have the chance to see "NOZ",because its not just a film, its a HISTORY of a nation.I recommend it to anyone who likes a good film. But don't expect anything in "American" style on this one.

I must say that this is the first real movie about WWII about what really happened in our country. The first movie not about hate but about truth. Showing who are who and that we are all one nation. The movie about forgiveness.But read the book with the same title by Vuk Draskovic and you will...
