Dilino a čert is quite the peculiar entry in the family and fantasy genres. It’s got this raw charm, a bit rough around the edges, which feels very much like a slice of life from its setting. The pacing drifts, sometimes meandering through the day-to-day troubles of a Roma coal miner’s family, and you can sense the struggle between tradition and the whimsical ideas of young Dilino. His antics, while causing stress, also bring a light-hearted tone that contrasts with the gritty backdrop of their lives. The practical effects are simple but effective, not overdone. The performances carry that genuine emotion, which makes it relatable, if not entirely polished. It’s distinctive in its exploration of familial bonds and societal expectations without the typical fantasy gloss.
Focus on the familial themes and societal expectations. · Notice the practical effects and their grounding in reality. · The pacing can feel slow, but it adds to the film's atmosphere.
