Reflections (Serbo-Croatian: Već viđeno, lit. 'Already seen'; also known as Deja Vu) is a 1987 Yugoslav psychological horror/drama film directed by Goran Marković and starring Mustafa Nadarević, Anica Dobra, Milorad Mandić and Petar Božović.[1]
The film was selected as the Yugoslav entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 60th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.[2]
Plot
[edit]A mentally disturbed middle-aged musician falls in love with an attractive young girl.
Mihailo, once a brilliant young pianist, is now a piano teacher at an educational center. His colleagues consider him an oddball, but they leave him alone to live his lonely life. Everything changes when a young girl appears at his school. Contact with her, a new, erotically intense life, causes a strange phenomenon in him - as he has seen it all once before. Namely, the situations he experiences seem repeated to him. His trauma, the piano, causes painful emotions and pathological fear, a fusion of past and present, pushing him into tragedy.
Legacy
[edit]The film was listed as one of the BFI's top 100 European horror films.[3]
