This show is amazing, everything is great, the acting, the directing and the script... Probably the best Croatian TV-show ever!
This film is a result of a Croatian wannabe director wanting to make a Hollywood type historic spectacle. Naturally he flunked big time.
This is one of the most expensive Croatian movies ever made. Unfortunately, one of the worst, too.
On April 2, 2005 I went to the "Cinema Croatia" film festival in Santa Monica to see DUGA MRACNA NOC. Goran Visnjic was there to introduce the movie.
Contrary to one of the previous comments, this movie hasn't got anything to do with propaganda. Its main character Iva (Goran Visnjic) is an apolitical moralist who has problems with followers of all tyrannic ideologies that have influenced his country short time before, during, and short time after the Second World War: Partisans, Ustase, Nazis and Communists, and likes none of them.
This is the best Croatian movie I've ever seen. It not only shows the beginning of the second world war and how people change over this event, but goes on afterwords without letting you think that now the war is over everything is fine.
