Personal Baggage
(Osebna prtljaga)
Slovenia 2009. Director: Janez Lapajne
Cast: Nataša Barbara Gračner, Tjaša Železnik, Boris Cavazza, Grega Zorc, Špela Rozin
Slovenian director Janez Lapajne’s Personal Baggage is a sophisticated thriller spinning a twisted tale of dangerous love and spiralling desire against the haunting backdrop of the Slovene forests, which carry some sinister historical baggage of their own. “How many lives can a femme fatale change? Vid, a young and talented singer, falls in love with Nina without the slightest notion of the many ways his new girlfriend will affect his entire family. A love triangle soon develops between them and Vid’s father, followed by a series of unfortunate coincidences and deaths. The Slovenian forest provides a suitable dark decor to Janez Lapajne’s thriller. Personal Baggage is a modest Slovenian masterpiece, a carefully constructed film which leaves no loose ends and turns even the smallest detail into a key element” (Days of European Film Festival, Prague). Colour, 35mm, in Slovenian with English subtitles. 124 mins.
Screenings restricted to 18+.
