The High Sun
Why this pick
Like A Perfect Day, it views the Balkans’ postwar scars through dry, intimate human encounters, balancing political damage with an observant, unsentimental sense of place.

02
No Man's Land
Why this pick
Its war-zone absurdity, bitter humour, and morally exhausted characters closely echo A Perfect Day’s ability to make an impossible situation funny without softening its tragedy.
03
On the Milky Road
Why this pick
Another former-Yugoslav conflict story that filters danger and loss through offbeat comedy, lived-in landscapes, and sudden tonal shifts between farce, tenderness, and violence.
04
In This World
Why this pick
Its restrained, road-bound realism and lightly improvised feel create a similarly humane portrait of people navigating systems too chaotic and cruel for easy solutions.
05
The Death of Stalin
Why this pick
For the same sharp taste for bureaucratic absurdity under lethal pressure: an ensemble turns crisis management into escalating deadpan comedy while the stakes remain unmistakably grim.
Finding the atmosphere, tension and little details that made this one stay with you.
