The Beauty of Vice

Lepota poroka

1986 · 109 min · Drama

When a devout young couple from a remote Montenegrin mountain village take work at a seaside resort, the wife is both scandalized and awakened by the free, sensual world she encounters there. A provocative Yugoslav drama.

Why it’s here

Živko Nikolić’s canonical Montenegrin satire contrasts traditional mountain life with the Adriatic coast and anchors the republic’s late-Yugoslav cinema.
