hey babu riba be a film about a young woman and mariana ( nickname esther after a famous american movie star ) and and four young men and glenn and sacha and kicha and and pop and all perhaps 15 17 year old in 1953 belgrade and yugoslavia . the five be commit friend and crazy about jazz and blue jean and or anything american it seem . the very close relationship of the teenager be poignant and and ultimately a sacrifice be willingly make to try to help one of the group who have fall on unexpected difficulty . in the wake of change communist politics and they go their separate way and reunite in 1985 ( the year before the film be make ) . i enjoy the film with some reservation . the subtitle for one thing be difficult . especially in the beginning and there be a number of dialogue which have no subtitle at all . perhaps the conversational pace require it and but i couldn not always both read the text and absorb the scene and which cause me to not always understand which character be involve . i watch the movie ( a video from our public library ) with a friend and and neither of u really understood part of the story about acquire streptomycin for a sick relative . this yugoslavian coming of age film effectively convey the teenager sense of invulnerability and idealism and and strong and loyal bond to each other . there be a main flashforward and and it be intrigue and keep me guess until the end a to who these character be vi a vi the 1953 cast and and what have actually happen . i would rate it positive and and would like to see other film by the director and jovan acin ( 1941 1991 ) .
