Funk YU

About This Movie

Funk YU dives into the world of a vinyl collector named Franko, who’s not really into collecting but is kind of pushed into this quest. The film has this raw, nostalgic vibe that really captures the spirit of Yugoslav funk. It’s shot in various locations across former Yugoslavia, giving it this unique sense of place, and the exploration is as much about the music as it is about Franko’s personal journey. The pacing feels right, with enough downtime for reflection while also keeping you engaged with the hunt for that elusive single, 'Ulica Jorgovana / Zlatokosa.' The interviews with local musicians are a treat, adding depth to the narrative. It’s definitely a film that resonates with anyone who’s ever searched for that one record.
