Muškarci ne plaču

angleško: When the world is full of political and ethnic conflicts, the films provides a vivid lesson of the wounds which are hard to heal from even after the conflict or the war is long over. Even though the story is based on the aftermath of the particular civil war, atrocities and ethnic cleansing in former Yugoslavia, the film could be read as a warning to what happens if people forget basic human values. At the same time, it gives hope that former mortal enemies can reconcile and psychological wounds can be healed.

Kako se soočiti s travmami vojne in razrešiti globoko zakoreninjeno sovraštvo? Je mogoče ponovno vzpostaviti (za)upanje v zlomljeni družbi? To so vprašanja, ki odmevajo v tem pretresljivem, izjemno napisanem in odigranem filmu, prežetem z mučno atmosfero, toksično moškostjo, nelagodjem in nezaupanjem. Za občutljivost pri raziskovanju kompleksne narave ranjenih posameznikov, natančno poznavanje ter razumevanje fizičnih in psihičnih posledic vojne, predvsem pa za odločno humanistično zavezo medsebojnemu razumevanju, sočutju in sprejemanju Mednarodna žirija filmskih kritikov nagrado FIPRESCI podeljuje filmu Moški ne jočejo, prvencu Alena Drljevića.

angleško: The theme of this year’s edition of the Bratislava International Film Festival was the art of film acting. The jury was unanimous in its choice for Best Film with a film where the ensemble of actors displayed such an intense emotional and inspirational level of acting in dealing with a tragic historical event. We also found it important to emphasize that the film’s main message of reconciliation was so necessary in today’s current political climate.

Vojni veterani skozi intimne zgodbe delijo dvom v lastne odločitve, ki jih je pogojevala tuja volja. Izbrana igralska zasedba in njihove bravure nas na pretresljiv način prestavijo v občutja preživelih.
