How it feels

In a remote Slovenian village, a director revisits a short story that reminded him of someone he knew. The film uses non-professional locals as actors and a 16mm camera to create a timeless, poetic feel.

What happens

Oroslan je slovenski celovečerni dramski film iz leta 2019. Scenarij je nastal po kratki zgodbi Pa ravno tako je bilo Zdravka Duše, ki se dogaja v Tolminu. Naredila je močan vtis na režiserja Ivanišina ter ga začela spominjati na nekoga, ki ga je poznal. V vlogah vaščanov razen Margit Gyecsek, Milivoja Mikija Roša in Dejana Spasića nastopajo naturščiki. Film je bil posnet s 16 mm kamero v Gornjem Seniku. Po besedah Ivanišina Oroslanov svet ni socialni realizem, ampak je skrajno poetičen. Z izbiro filmskega traku sta Ivanišin in Božič hotela doseči občutek brezčasnosti. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
