Juzni Vetar (South Wind) is a Serbian crime thriller which shows the gritty criminal underworld of Belgrade and a culture that promotes this style of life. The movie by Balkan standard is as close to the western style film that I have yet seen. The main characters are good, both their past and motivation are underdeveloped and are lacking a time frame in which the era that the film portrays are set. The story is a classic tale of anti-hero vs the bad drug dealer who is masquerading as typical upper class Belgrade citizen, both when the night falls and behind the curtains he is rotten to the core! Many stereotypes are also shown (some with taste, other with not) about the Serbian culture and it's temperament, both in the end it's a spicy mix mixed with sweet taste which just doesn't cut it. To end this review all I can say is that this movie is primarily made for the Balkan audience who are going to understand it more deeply than the average viewer from the West or East.
