Alamat blue film di youtube4/3/2023 How much of Murina was developed from your 2017 short Into the Blue? DN had the opportunity to sit down with Kusijanovic ahead of Murina’s release for a chat in which we discussed why her actors undertook tango lessons, building the feature around Filipović’s magnetic presence and swimming abilities and why she likens the delivery of a film to that of childbirth. Murina saw Kusijanovic win the prestigious Caméra d’Or for best debut feature at Cannes and is being released by Modern Films in cinemas on the 8th of April followed by a virtual cinema release from the 9th of May. Much like a moray eel from which the film takes its title and who will bite its own flesh to escape capture, we see a desperate fight for liberation unfold over 92 enthralling minutes. The glittering coastline and peaceful underwater scenes are rocked by a father’s violence and voracious greed. Kusijanovic first came across her lead actor, Gracija Filipović, in the casting of her short Into the Blue and has masterfully crafted a world around the young professional swimmer in Murina. Set in a seemingly idyllic sun soaked existence on the Croatian coast, Director Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović celebrates restless teenager Julija’s defiant passage into adulthood in a debut feature sharply punctuated with desire, chauvinism and opposition. Murina transports us back to the turmoil of adolescence, a longing to escape the clutches of parents and imposed obligations and the desire for a bigger and better life.
