Juliette & Alfa Romeo

About This Movie

Juliette & Alfa Romeo is a curious blend of comedy and drama that captures the tumultuous life of a high school student. Tilen is that archetypal attractive lad, caught in the throes of youthful infatuation and naïve promises. The film's pacing has this almost surreal ebb and flow—moments of levity quickly turn into heavy emotional beats, especially once the tragic events unfold. Završnik weaves a tale that feels almost like a fable, with a distinctive atmosphere that lingers after viewing. The performances, particularly by the young cast, are earnest and raw, embodying the angst of adolescence amid a backdrop that feels both familiar and unsettling. It’s fascinating how the spell motif plays into Tilen's psyche, creating a sense of impending doom that contrasts with the lighter moments.
