Statement Regisseur
FATHER is a film about a loser, an oucast and humiliated man who, through his journey, walking from his village in the South of Serbia to the capital, from one end of the country to the other, out of protest, dignity and his wish to make a point to himself and others, out of desperation – becomes a hero.Nikola, just like Harry Dean Stanton in PARIS, TEXAS, walks across Serbia, carrying with him his troubles, but also his struggle and his hope. Like a modern day Messiah, our lone hero is wandering in search of his goal and justice, towards the only thing he’s got left – his love for his children.
His journey is an essential one, a matter of the meaning of his life, but it is also mythic, fairytale-like.
FATHER is a road movie, a fairytale-like transition western. The hero of the film is a hero of the times, and, just like in a western, no system, no time, no injustice can deprive the hero of his right to dignity, love, struggle and, more than anything, hope.
The hero’s relation with the spaces he passes by is an extremely important aspect of this film, the sight of run-down factories, one such factory being the reason for his journey too, sights of a devastated country, deserted fields, unfinished roads. Opposing this is nature, not ruined yet, beautiful, inspiring, strong, becoming a part of the hero’s internal world as his journey progresses, his support, his guardian and his sanctuary.
