The film Lost Country, directed by Vladimir Perišić and co-written with Alice Winocour, was presented in competition at Critics' Week at the Cannes 2023 Film Festival. This drama, starring Jasna Đuričić, Jovan Ginic and Miodrag Jovanović, is set in Belgrade in 1996, during the student protests against Slobodan Milosevic's regime.
Lost Country follows the journey of Stefan, a 14-year-old boy played by Jovan Ginic, who lives alone through a difficult revolution: accepting the unacceptable. He discovers that his mother, played by Jasna Đuričić, is complicit in the policies pursued by Milosevic's regime and must find the strength to confront her. The film explores the political tensions and family conflicts that ensue.
The historical context of Lost Country is particularly interesting, as it deals with a key period in the contemporary history of Serbia and the Balkans. Student protests against Milosevic's regime had a significant impact on the politics and society of the time. The actors' performance and Vladimir Perišić's direction promise an intense, gripping drama.
Lost Country 's selection for Critics' Week at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival underlines the quality of this film and its potential to make a lasting impression. The Cannes Film Festival is a prestigious event that provides a prime platform for directors and actors, giving them international exposure and enhanced distribution opportunities.
