FILM INFORMATION

Croatia’s official submission to the 2002 Academy Awards

Synopsis A report of a kidnapped child triggers an investigation that uncovers nightmarish conditions in a seedy apartment building in Zagreb: none of the residents are as they seem and when they learn the truth about each other, the pervasive climate of mistrust in the building explodes into violence. The hostility and misery of the characters' lives project vivid echoes of Croatia's recent past, as the country slowly emerges from years of ethnic violence during the Balkans war.About the Director Dalibor Matanic was born in Zagreb in 1975 and studied filmmaking at the Zagreb Academy of Dramatic Arts. He has made videos, commercials and documentaries before completing his first film, The Cashier Wants to Go to the Seaside (2000). Fine Dead Girls is his second feature film.

REVIEWS:

"A stylishly-lensed film noir." -Variety

"A choice chunk of Croatian allegory which succeeds nicely!" -Village Voice

"Diabolical, erotically driven...Smart, chilling and thought-provoking!" -Bay Area Reporter

“Dalibar Matanic directs the fast-paced Croatian film-noir 'Fine Dead Girls'” – Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide, The New York Times.

“. . . A seething tale of petty hatreds and violent desire . . . yet 'Fine Dead Girls' does offer some hope for redemption and healing. Matanic has built a fine film out of the ruins of his homeland.” – Chris Cooke, New England Film.
