Zbilja, ne znamo tko je Junak našeg doba. Ne znamo ni tko Luciju prati pogledom iz auta. Dvoboj između Lucije i Pečorina prekinula je nadobudna mladež. "Dosta!" je poruka i gledateljima i potencijalnom atentatoru. Svatko od nas mora odlučiti što će se dalje dogoditi. Ambiciozno i u našim serijama dosad neviđeno. Gledateljima se vjeruje toliko da im se prepusti tako važna odluka? Možemo to odobravati ili ne, ali je odluka hrabra u svakom slučaju.
Indeed, we do not know who A Hero of Our Time is. We don't even know who is watching Lucija from the car. The duel between Lucija and Pečorin was interrupted by the budding youth. Their message "Enough!" is a message to both viewers and potential assassin. Each of us, viewers, must decide what will happen next. Ambitious and unprecedented in the Croatian series. Viewers are trusted so much to be left with such an important decision? We can approve it or not, but the decision is brave anyway.
Uzmite samo scenu iz devete epizode u kojoj Kosta Mandić nadmudri Iglu, sjeda na svoj motocikl iz snova, izlijeće na njemu iz radne sobe prepune prašnjavih dosjea, probija balkon i izvodi jedno od najefektnijih samoubojstava u povijesti filma i televizije.
Why "Rest in Peace" is one of the most interesting products of European television
Just take the scene from the ninth episode in which Kosta Mandić outsmarts Igla, sits on his dream motorcycle, flies on it from a study full of dusty files, breaks through the balcony, and performs one of the most spectacular suicides in the history of film and television.
Po meni od svih novijih pokušaja kvalitetne produkcije, od Crno-bijelog svijeta do Novina, jedini u potpunosti uspješan projekt čiju kvalitetu na svim poljima – od scenarija, glume, režije, produkcije još uvijek promatram u nevjerici.
"Rest in Peace 3" - by digging graves to the truth, one last time
In my opinion, of all recent attempts at quality TV production, from "Black-White World" to "Newspaper", "Rest in Peace" is the only fully successful project whose quality in all fields - screenwriting, acting, directing, production - I still watch in disbelief.
U prvoj epizodi u narodnjačkom klubu (uvjerljivo prikazanom) biva upucan arogantni sin generala Koretića. Iako su nas autori (Dario Vince i Saša Podgorelec) uvjeravali da ne treba tražiti ključ za likove u hrvatskoj stvarnosti, teško je bilo u generalu Koretiću kojeg tumači Dejan Aćimović ne vidjeti lik generala Korade i njegova problematičnog sina.
In the first episode, the arrogant son of general Koretić is shot in a folk club (convincingly shown). Although the authors (Dario Vince and Saša Podgorelec) assured us that we should not look for the key to the characters in Croatian reality, it was difficult not to see the character of general Korade and his troubled son in general Koretić, played by Dejan Aćimović.
Dapače, u slučaju serije "Počivali u miru" mogli bismo reći da je i stvorila svoje standarde jer je osebujnom mješavinom krimi-priča i za ovo podneblje karakterističnih okolnosti stvorila nešto što bi se moglo nazvati hrvatskim noireom. "Počivali u miru" nikada nije nalikovala nečemu drugom, nikada se nije pozivala ni na Skandinavce i njihove krimiće ni na "Wire" ni na boktepitaj što. Imala je doista svoj stil, temu, specifično vezanu uz ovo područje, a opet - univerzalnu.
"Rest in Peace" - another step forward of the most serious Croatian series
Actually, we could say that 'Rest in Peace' invented its standards. A special mixture of crime stories and characteristic local circumstances created something that could be called Croatian noire. 'Rest in Peace' never resembled anything else, it never referred to either the Scandinavians and their crime stories or 'Wire' or who knows what... It had its own style, theme, specifically related to this area, and yet - universal.
Na izvjestan način ovo je najprovokativnija sezona. Koliko god subverzivna, prva se referirala na devedesete i na ranija razdoblja, druga se preselila u Istru i donekle odmakla od centara moći, dok je treća u samom njihovom središtu.
Rest in Peace: someone is killing members of the Golden Youth, but it is not known why and whether the chain will continue
In a way, this is the most provocative season. As subversive as it may be, the first referred to the 1990s and earlier periods, the second moved to Istria and moved somewhat away from the centers of power, while the third is at their very center.
