Pretty Women Walking Through the City, from 1986, presents a bleak vision of Belgrade in 2041. The city feels like a post-apocalyptic wasteland, a dump yard where the remnants of society linger. The pacing is deliberate, almost haunting, as we watch a group of old men attempting to educate young girls in the lost ways of their Yugoslav ancestry. It’s strange and uncomfortable, mixing elements of nostalgia with a somewhat grim realism. The performances are raw; you can sense the conflict between tradition and a decaying future. The practical effects, while minimal, add to the eerie atmosphere. It’s not for everyone, but it certainly has a unique vibe that lingers in your mind long after viewing.
