The filmmaker\u2019s latest provides an absurdist spin on the premise of Pier Paolo Pasolini\u2019s \u201cTeorema,\u201d as the arrival of a handsome, young stranger disrupts the dynamics of an unpleasant,\u00a0<em>nouveau riche<\/em>\u00a0Slovenian family. While a fun watch for most of its run, Prosenc allows the narrative to spin out of control, running on past several natural endings. As with the director\u2019s previous films \u201cThe Tree\u201d and \u201cHistory of Love,\u201d all shot by the talented Mitja Li\u010den (\u201cSmall Body\u201d), the glorious cinematography, strong acting and breath-taking production design provide some compensation for the flaws of the screenplay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The striking opening moments, featuring a smoking car that bursts into flames along the side of a road and a family of three scrambling to safety, represent a bit of a bait-and-switch as the family pictured plays only a minor role in the film. Instead, the family of the title \u2014 the family Kralj (which translates as King, natch) \u2014 are in a fancy car speeding by the one in distress without stopping to help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The strange, unsympathetic behavior of the Kraljs distresses 25-year-old French newcomer Julien (Aliocha Schneider), who has just arrived for an extended visit. He\u2019s the son of family patriarch Aleks (Marko Mandi\u0107) from an earlier relationship. Clearly, father and son know little about each other, and the Kralj women, artist-gallerist wife Olivia (Katarina Stegnar) and unh<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>y \u2018tween daughter Agata (Mila Bezjak) prove less than welcoming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The Kralj home, where the greater part of the action takes place, is stunning. An architectural beauty of concrete and glass, situated at the edge of a forest, it is decorated in a modern, minimalist style, with smart house <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> designed to keep the rest of the world out while allowing them to keep a wary eye on nearby nature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Julien\u2019s mere presence disturbs the family\u2019s isolated, rigidly ordered existence. His empathy and kindness lead to literal and metaphorical fractures in their lives, but in Prosenc\u2019s uneven screenplay these breakages don\u2019t exactly lead to major revelations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    As in the opening moments, the film boasts an over-abundance of small incidents that initially seem as if they might move the plot in an interesting direction, but ultimately prove to be mere distraction. This particularly applies to the short scenes involving the sexual tension that Julien\u2019s presence seems to evoke in both mother and daughter. In contrast, the extended scene showing the pretentious artworld party where Serbian Ana \u0110uri\u0107-Konstrakta sings, an avant-garde performance takes place, and Aleks humiliates himself, make its point quickly but runs on too long.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Prosenc\u2019s fine actors are committed, although in some cases they don\u2019t have a lot to work with. Mandi\u0107 brings a manic twinkle in his eye as the writer manqu\u00e9 with an unlikely obsession with outer space, while Stegnar\u2019s haughty ice queen melts with concern over her frail daughter (who is her child in real-life). As the\u00a0<em>deus ex machina<\/em>\u00a0of the plot, French-Canadian performer Schneider is the least defined, but he makes Julien a decent human being willing to accept his role in this flawed family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In a film in which ambience trumps plot, mention must be made of Tatjana \u010cani\u0107 Stankovi\u0107\u2019s glorious production design, the costumes by Gilda Venturini and Dubravka Skvrce, and, in particular, the striking score by the Slovene musical duo Primo\u017e Hladnik and Boris Benko who perform and record under the band name Silence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
