Review of The Rat Savior

Masterpiece of Yugoslavian Cinema! What an atmosphere of fear and paranoia in society where you cannot tell who is human and who is rat-man permanently substituting a human being.Conspiracy of power thirsty rats leads to all parts of society so people can't really trust no one. Dark setting of the city makes this film dystopia. Leading actor Ivica Vidović did a great job as Ivan Gajski - a starving writer (Vidović often plays misunderstood artists) who looks for a place to sleep in abandoned building of the central bank and then he learns about rats plans and begins to act against them. "Izbavitelj" (eng. "Redeemer") is obviously influenced by "Invasion of Body Snatchers", but to me it looks more like "They Live". It's just that "They Live" is a critique of consumerism and "Izbavitelj" is critique of totalitarianism.
