Toma\u2019s popularity, the nostalgia factor (sometimes played for shameless sentiment) plus sizable excerpts from his <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ealing songbook should attract viewers from across the republics of former Yugoslavia and the diaspora.<\/p>\n<p>While some viewers may take issue with the simplifications, elisions and composites of Bjelogrli\u0107 and company\u2019s approach (what\u2019s the absence of a wife or two when a man has had four?), others will delight in his re-creation of a bohemian milieu filled with multi-ethnic performers, poets, artists and sportsmen from a country that no longer exists. Even those who have never heard of the man will appreciate his warm baritone and the melancholy, lived-experience lyrics of his songs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToma\u201d posits that the much-loved ballads that the artist penned were inspired by his unhappy relationships and lost loves. The film\u2019s most cinematic moments depict the gypsy girl Ru\u0161ka, described as his first love. She\u2019s shown as a ghostly figure, sometimes smiling, sometimes sad, who reappears throughout the film, cradling a bouquet of white roses. Their inability to be together prompts one of his first, personal songs.<\/p>\n<p>When just starting out in the late 1950s, Toma receives a career boost from the already successful thrush Silvana Armenuli\u0107 (Tamara Dragi\u010devi\u0107, making an impact), a native Bosniak known as the \u201cQueen of Sevdalinka.\u201d Over the years, they harmonize wonderfully in duets, but never consummate the sexual relationship Toma desires. He writes several songs about her and gives her one of his best, \u201cI don\u2019t need life without you my darling,\u201d which became one of her biggest hits.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the infidelity of Toma\u2019s beauty queen wife Nada (Milena Radulovi\u0107) spurs further popular tunes that his audience loves. In the film, he even writes a song for the ill-fated spouse (Paulina Manov) of the stern doctor (Petar Ben\u010dina) treating him for bladder cancer and sings it just for them, during a special private night out, in a sentimental scene that borders on the mawkish. It\u2019s one of many instances that Bjelogrli\u0107 and co-director Zoran Lisinac use to portray Toma\u2019s loyalty to friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Toma has his vices too. He drinks to the point of destroying his kidneys, smokes like a chimney and loses a small fortune gambling with cards and dice \u2014 familiar biopic tropes that Bjelogrli\u0107 shoots in an equally clich\u00e9d manner. \u00a0But when not smashing glasses in a <em>kafana <\/em>or picking fights in a casino, lead actor Mari\u0107, (almost unrecognizable under an unfortunate wig and large prosthetic nose) manages to convey Toma\u2019s easy charm, lack of pretension and charismatic stage presence.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly, the most exciting element of the film is the generous amount of Toma\u2019s oeuvre that\u2019s performed, whether acoustically in small venues or in large halls with a backing band of strings and keyboards. As Toma\u2019s final concert tour takes place against the backdrop of his declining health and the beginning of the Balkan wars that would forever change his native land, Bjelogrli\u0107 and Lisinac generate tension over what will happen first, the death of a country or an artist?<\/p>\n<p>The tech credits are a mixed bag, especially where the period look is concerned. Some of the costumes are a lot of fun, but the terrible wigs distract.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
