Fine Dead Girls (First Run)
This strangely compelling 2002 drama from Croatian director Dalibor Matanic finds the ethnic strife and hatred of “foreigners” that characterized the Balkan War echoed in a Zagreb apartment complex, where several characters interact. The plot’s catalyst is the arrival of a lesbian couple who are reviled from the start, with initial mocking by their neighbors growing ominously until it turns to physical violence in a scene of undisguised nastiness. Without resorting to cheap shocks, Matanic shows how such brutality can rear its ugly head logically and unnervingly.
