Queen of the Night

About This Movie

So, 'Queen of the Night' really captures a unique moment in time, set against the backdrop of 1968 Osijek. It’s about young Tomo, who’s got this immense pressure on him to win the Junior Cup of Yugoslavia, but honestly, he’s just more into chasing girls than focusing on rowing. The pacing feels true to the teenage angst, with a mix of humor and seriousness. The film has this raw, almost nostalgic atmosphere, reflecting the cultural shifts of the era. Notably, the performances feel authentic, with a kind of gritty realism. It’s distinct in how it weaves personal growth with broader societal changes, not just the sport itself. Not your typical sports drama, that’s for sure.
