The Family series does not glorify Milosevic and it was made globally!

The echoes of the “Family” series about Slobodan Milosevic’s arrest are still not subsiding.

Twenty years later, some continue to bloody defend the family of the former president of Serbia and Yugoslavia, and after the grand finale on RTS and Superstar TV, we decided not to ask for impressions from actors or politicians, but from the profession: producers, screenwriters, teachers of the FDA and directors.

The director and author of the hit series “The Secret of the Vine”, Dejan Karaklajić, really liked the story of Bojan Vuletić.

– The series “Familia” was made at a professional level, with excellent actors and dramaturgy worldwide. I read comments these days if what is shown is true or not, it does not matter at all. The series is an excellent political thriller and should be seen as such, and not as a documentary film, says Karakalajić for Kurir, adding:

– They should not put politics in the foreground. The series does not glorify anyone, but it shows a painful picture of our society from 20 years ago. It is good to remember those things and learn something new from our past and history.

Playwrights Biljana Srbljanović and Sara Radojković also voiced their views on the “Family” series, a new “Firefly” production project, on Facebook.

– For now, I perceive the series “Familia” as ideologically neutral, which is a great quality. And then everyone loads what they want. I fell in love with Ceca Bojković, because he plays my grandmother, my mother resents Đinđić because she thinks he was a much better man. So do those who have a problem with Sloboda, they hate him and can’t believe he’s so nice to his mentally ill wife – thinks Sara.

Professor Biljana Srbljanović does not completely agree with her younger colleague.

– She is not neutral for me, she clearly takes a position, it’s okay, not ideologically, but morally and politically. Milosevic is portrayed as a lunatic and a monster, especially one who seems caring and calm, a bit senile and disappointed, but is aware enough to know that he has not left a trace and is not in a hurry to get the paramilitary gang out of the house. There are banalities, especially in the lines, and sometimes dramatic clumsiness, but it is a great series, great, writes Srbljanović.

She especially praises Milan Marić.

– Everything in and around the house is perfectly done. Everyone in the government and the Presidency, except Cheda, are caricatures or one-dimensional. They are not real people, it did not give them space to exist outside the given drama vectors: they are going to say information or they sit and get information, they are always in a group, if you know those people, you know where they are waving. , and if you don’t know them, you never experience them as real characters. Except for Marić, who is fantastic, but that character also has more space.

Film critic and screenwriter Dimitrija Vojnov did a good analysis for RTS. – In “Family”, we can first recognize the influence of Paolo Sorentino and his films “Il Divo” on Giulio Andreotti and “Loro” on Silvio Berlusconi. There is “W” somewhere. Oliver Stone on George Bush Jr., or Adam McKay’s “The Man of Shadows” on Dick Cheney. From these films, we recognize the influence of a specific blend of subtle caricature and historical reconstruction in an attempt to allow the audience to feel the historical protagonists through stature and voice, but more importantly, to feel the attitude of the author to the person who is speaking – believes Vojnov. He fears that after this series, many will fall in love with Milosevic, when Boris Isakovic plays.

– Perhaps at the end of this “Family” series story, Milosevic will come out as a random hero like Kalabic from the “The Last Act” series about the arrest of Draza Mihailovic, but it is quite certain that this series was conceived. against him for various authorial decisions. The series nurtures the image of Milosevic as a dysfunctional family, underlines the pathological relationship between him and his wife Mirjana Markovic and in many ways follows the image created about him by opponents and supporters, who often blame his wife for all the mistakes: the movie critical notes.
