The Fourth Part of the Brain is a documentary that intertwines the lives of children from Nenad Dizdarevic's An Awkward Age with the harsh realities of 1990s former-Yugoslavia. The film has a raw, almost gritty atmosphere, capturing the struggles and resilience of its subjects amid societal turmoil. The pacing feels unhurried, allowing for moments of reflection on both personal stories and broader historical contexts. What stands out is how it portrays childhood innocence against a backdrop of conflict, making it a poignant exploration of human experience. The practical effects are non-existent, but the emotional weight is palpable through the performances of the real children, giving it an authenticity that is hard to shake off long after the credits roll.
