Bread and Circuses has this nostalgic vibe that really plays on the last throes of socialistic Yugoslavia. It’s fascinating how the film captures the absurdity of life just before the big change. The family Novak, drawn into a TV quiz show, pulls you into this atmosphere of hope and desperation simultaneously. The pacing feels almost leisurely at times, giving you space to digest the quirky nuances of their lives. There's a charm in the performances, especially from the mother and daughter, who bring a warmth that feels genuine. The practical effects, while modest, add to this homemade quality that feels right for the time. It's a portrayal of a society on the cusp, juggling tradition with a curious glance toward the future.
