Trailer for Serbian thriller 4th MAN

Serbia moves slowly towards modern genre filmmaking, with director Dejan Zecevic (T.T. Syndrome) being the main force in this movement. His fourth feature film, aptly titled 4th Man (Četvrti čovek), is a contemporary political thriller set in Belgrade, which reflects on the climate of transitional anxiety in Serbia after Yugoslav wars. Nikola Kojo plays a military intelligence Major who is suffering from amnesia after waking up from a two-month coma. He soon learns that his wife and son were killed during the same incident that left him comatose, but not much else is known. Traumas of the past, unresolved disputes, and conspiracies collide as the major attempts to piece together the puzzle of his past life. On one level, Major’s amnesia is representative of Serbian society’s collective amnesia, and struggle to return to a normal life after the turbulent 90’s. While there’s nothing groundbreaking here in world cinema terms, the movie is a step in the right direction for the struggling domestic industry.
