Nji prej Nesh

In his short films Ergys Meta has already demonstrated his talent as a genre director. Here, in his feature film debut, he combines buddy film with neo-noir. Skilfully bringing forth allusions to film history and contemporary political culture, he keeps his film down to earth with sparse dialogues between its dissimilar colleagues whilst all the whole cross-referencing, with the help of a video store employee who makes appearances as Marylin Monroe and later Mia Wallace from Quentin Tarrantino's "Pulp Fiction", the factory of dreams that is the world of cinema. Only to then, quite en passant and without pointing fingers, briefly shed light on the well-hidden traumatisation of his country as a result of the Kosovo war and its political intrigues. After the need for revenge has been satisfied, it's back to the factory of dreams; or was it all just a film? Entertaining genre cinema that comes complete with depth of meaning and a universal touch.
