Pored tebe (2023) : distribution, intrigue et streaming

Released in 2023, Pored tebe is a thriller and drame film directed by Stevan Filipović, running about 115 minutes.

What it’s about. Set five years on from the school days of director Stevan Filipovic's previous film Next to Me, a state of emergency exists and politicians are accused of capitalising on public anxiety around Covid-19, which makes the shocking situation that reunites the characters significantly more extreme. The story centres on Ksenija (newcomer Mina Nikolic), a driven young woman striving to move from tabloid hack to a career journalist in a world of click-bait headlines and showbiz scandals cooked up to feed the masses. Ksenija's personal and professional journey is hampered when Vera tests positive for Coronavirus and Ksenija must question how far she will bend to survive in a climate where political pressure is increasingly overt and can be said to capitalise on fear during the pandemic.

Who’s in it. Pored tebe stars Miriam Margolyes as Granny Vera, Mina Nikolić as Ksenija, Isidora Simijonović as Anastasija and Nikola Rakočević as Novica, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 3.5/10, Pored tebe has proved divisive with audiences.
