BAD BLOOD
BASED ON THE NOVEL TAINTED/IMPURE BLOOD AND THE SHORT STORIES OF ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS AND CELEBRATED SERBIAN WRITERS FROM THE LATE NINETEENTH AND EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURIES, BORISAV BORE STANKOVIC, THIS STORY – ABOUT THE PASSION, LOVE, DESIRES AND INTRIGUES OF MEMBERS OF A WEALTHY SERB FAMILY FROM THE SOUTHERN SERBIA, FROM THE TOWN OF VRANJE – TAKES PLACE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 19th CENTURY, DURING THE DECLINE OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE.
THE PLOT REVOLVES AROUND THE SOCIAL TURMOIL RELATED TO THE EMERGENCE OF A NEW URBAN CLASS AND THE INEVITABLE CONFLICT OF THE NEWLY INTRODUCED EUROPEAN VALUES WITH THE UNCOMPROMISING AND PATRIARCHAL FAMILY TRADITION OF THE ‘OLD ORIENT’. THE FAMILY, WHICH GAINED ITS WEALTH AND REPUTATION DURING THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, DESTROYS ITSELF UNDER THE FORCE OF THE ‘NEW EPOCH’ AND DISAPEARANCE OF KNOWN VALUES, MORALITIES AND ETHICAL RULES.
A DEEPLY EMOTIONAL FAMILY DRAMA – ABOUT LUST, POWER AND HOPELESSNESS, PSYCHOLOGICAL INTROSPECTIONS, CLASHES BETWEEN MEMBERS OF THE NEWLY SHAPED URBAN FAMILY AND THE OLD PAROCHIAL FAMILY – IS SET UP AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF THE SOUTH SERBIAN FOLKLORE THAT GIVES THE FILM A UNIQUE TONE THAT TIES UP THE TRAGIC OUTCOMES WITH THE ‘MAGIC’ OF SOUTHERN SERBIA’S DAILY LIFE IN THE YEARS LEADING UP TO THE END OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE.
