The Tenth Brother

About This Movie

The Tenth Brother is an interesting piece, isn’t it? Directed by Vojko Duletič, it captures the somber essence of 1840's rural Yugoslavia quite effectively. Based on Josip Jurcic's novel, the film dives deep into family drama, revenge, and the haunting echoes of abandonment. The atmosphere is thick, heavy with the weight of the protagonist's turmoil as he grapples with his father's betrayal. Pacing's a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the overall tension. Performances are solid, with a raw authenticity that feels very much in tune with the period. What stands out here are the practical effects and the way they enhance the gritty realism of the narrative. It’s a distinct entry in the realm of drama, for sure.
