Inventory

About This Movie

Inventory is a fascinating documentary that dives into the ghost of Sava Centar, a once-bustling hub of Yugoslavian culture. The film's tone is somber, yet strangely hopeful, as it contrasts the vibrant past with the slow decay of the present. You really get a feel for the atmosphere of abandonment juxtaposed with the hustle of younger workers, like Nenad, who are tasked with its reconstruction. Pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the nostalgia and reflection on what cultural identity means in a fractured nation. The practical effects of real-life decay and restoration lend authenticity, while the performances of the workers feel raw and honest, pulling you into their personal stakes amidst a larger historical narrative.
