Suicider

About This Movie

So, 'Suicider' is this interesting drama from 1985 that dives deep into the struggles of Officer Ivan Meznar. Coming back to Zagreb after prison, you really get a sense of isolation. The atmosphere is thick with the weight of unwelcoming friends and a wife who's not exactly thrilled to see him. It’s a slow burn, the pacing really matches the despair of the times, and it’s not just about the act of suicide; it’s about the moments leading up to it. The cinematography has this almost haunting quality, and while the performances might not be flashy, they feel authentic. There’s a rawness to how it portrays human emotions in such a bleak setting, which makes it stand out in the landscape of TV movies from that era.
