Teenager Luka lives in the small Serbian town of Mladenovac with a mother who can't handle him anymore, and his life is one scrape after another. He and his best mate Flash lead the local football fans and spend most of their spare time rooting for their team and drinking beer. Debuting director Ivan Ikić set his realistic tale of coming of age and the quest for identity against a backdrop of the unrest sparked by Kosovo's declaration of independence. Through the destiny of one individual, the filmmaker presents a laconic account of the young generation who, in his words, are "growing up in a society of lost values, where corruption, immorality, crime and abuse of power only prosper." The young director achieves a high measure of authenticity thanks to his decision to cast the majority of roles with nonactors (only three supporting roles are played by professionals) who never saw a script and whose lives in many respects reflected the experiences of their characters onscreen.

(49th KVIFF) As a look into the lives of young hooligans, Barbarians is quite convincing, but it’s not enough for a bigger film experience. It could have been presented in a more interesting way, the world of aimless teens has space for a strong dramatic story with a catharsis, but you don’t get any of that in Barbarians. On top of that, I had a lot of trouble distinguishing the hooligans, they all look very similar.
