People's Deputy

About This Movie

People's Deputy is really something. Stole Janković adapts Branislav Nusic's play in a way that captures the absurdity of politics with this sharp comedic lens. The pacing is snappy, reflecting the frantic world of a politician more interested in self-gain than public service. You get this distinct atmosphere, a blend of humor and cynicism that lingers. The performances are solid; the lead's portrayal of a self-serving deputy is both amusing and unsettling. The practical effects are minimal, but they don’t detract from the dialogue-driven narrative. It’s fascinating how it holds up a mirror to the political climate, making it relevant even today. There's a certain charm in its simplicity that strikes a chord.
