“ ...Nema
Problema, a film inside the war, against to all the fiction on the
war…“ Patrizia
Notarnicola , “Reflection “.
“...Restrained
and accurate, ‘Nemaproblema’ draws the almost
metaphysical enigma in the manner of Durrenmatt…”
Gabriele
Ferzetti , “ Il Messaggero “.
“…In
its simplicity this film has moments of intensity… and
Marolt’s performance confirms his true talent as an
actor…” Tullio Kesich , “ Il
Corriere della Sera “ .
“…The
director wants to ‘burn fiction by means of fiction’
or rather reveal the methodical confusion which originates from
news broadcasts and lands up in history books…” Cristiana
Paternò, “ Tam Tam cinema”
“…Nema
Problema, a film on how truth is destroyed by the war…” “
Il Gazzettino “
“…Giancarlo
Bocchi, an experienced documentary film-maker, accomplishes the
first Yugoslavian film to be made since the end of the war, on the
topic of information and fiction…” Silvana
Silvestri , “Il Manifesto “
“…Simple,
few special effects, lots of authenticity and unarmed towards the
war. It’s close by, too close to not feel it as a necessity
...” Andrea Monti, “Filmup “
“…It’s
warning cry , a means to claim one’s right to truth and
justice…” Gabriella Gallozzi , “l’Unità”.
“…In
this film, one relives all the experience of the fifty year old
documenentary film-maker from Parma, who in the past, with his
handheld video camera, has reported political and social conflicts
from different parts of the world…” “Smemoranda”
“…Bocchi
is a rare example – for Italy – of an independent
documentary film-maker who has no fear to go between the devil’s
legs in order to bring home evidence, witness , a film…” “l’Unità-
Cineguida ”
“…Here
the result of the director’s experience through his numerous
documentary films of the Balkans is put to work, witness of a more
complex reality than that transmitted by the media…”
“Alias”
“…Nema
Problema is not the average film about the conflicts in ex
Yugoslavia, but moreover a pamphlet on the disdainful concept of
the truth…” “Ciak”
“…An
unusual mix of documentary and fiction both flammable and
fascinating…” “L’Unità”
“…Nema
Problema, is a very severe, essential, concise film: we are
grateful to him…” Filiberto Molossi , “
Duellanti”
“…The
means of expression, thanks to Bocchi’s experience as a
documentary film-maker, are always concise and sharp where only
the essential is conveyed especially when dealing with war and its
background, without recurring to the usual clichès…”
Gian
Luigi Rondi , “ Il Tempo”
“…Nema
Problema is not a film about the war. Rather a film inside the
war. It is in fact an complex film, but at the same time both
eloquent and merciless Marco Catola , “ Cinema
invisibile “
“…Nema
Problema flows like a metronome, or rather like a fuse until its
final explosion, where sooner or later the truth always
comes out…” Mattia
Nicoletti , “Castlerock”
“…The
film is structured on multiple levels and manages to astonish by
ignoring any form of labelling. Strictly speaking, it is not a
film about war, it certainly is a film on war, but above all, it’s
a film about people who live inside a war…” Federico
Passi, “ Icine”
“…The
director, Giancarlo Bocchi has definitely produced a film which
makes one think. Therefore, Nema Problema is a statement film,
even though it’s tone is never that of indignant morality,
it is simply a statement on a current matter which we cannot, must
not allow ourselves to ignore…” Pierre
Hombrebueno , “Cinemaplus”
“…Nema
Problema, a small production carried out with great careand
awareness, especially when dealing with the sharpness of the
narration, with the efficient direction of the actors and for the
lucidity of it’s point of view: elements of a style which
reveal a talent that must be cultivated, be allowed to mature and
to be pursued with curiosity…” Maurizio
Schiaretti , “ Gazzetta di Parma”
“…Nema
Problema is an essential to the point film, about the unspoken,
about the dust found under the carpets of those war correspondents
who exaggerate the events in order to appear themselves at the
centre of the piece they are reporting…” Laura
Pietrobon, “ l’Opinione ”
“…It’s
thanks to the director that a consideration on the main themes of
these wretched years of conflict has been approached, beginning
from the relationship between information and conflict, which
obviously isn’t limited to the Balkans…” “Osservatorio
dei Balcani”
“…The
narrative plot places the camera between a line which separates
the war and its outcome on the one side and on the other, how this
can be perceived by a universal audience through the press. The
truth is sitting next to us, closer than we expect it…” Davide
Zanza ,”Cinecritica”
“…A
passionate make-believe, which does not indicate a total
discrimination between the yielding of documentary evidence and
fiction Leonardo Lardieri “ Sentieri selvaggi “
“…Someone
who has lived through and reported many wars, puts himself to the
test with a film illustrating the reverse side of bad information,
of the importance of a scoop at any cost, of professional crisis
and of the craving of instant clamour in order to capture
audiences…” Eugenio Barzaghi
,”Cinemavvenire”
“…Nema
Problema. Searching for the, truth on the war in Bosnia, while
filming with one eye turned towards Rossellini’s
neorealism…” Gabriella Mancini, “
Cinemaeoltre “
“…It’s
not only about ferocity, But, mainly about deceit and simulation.
A film that as something new to say about Bosnia…” “L’
Espresso”
“…A
film with an extraordinary sense of truth. It reveals the reality
people have within themselves…” Maurizio
Chierici , “L’Unità”
“…It’s
as though Nema Problema forces you to take a step backwards: why
not form your own opinion on evidence rather than on other
opinions?” “ Acchiappafilm”
“…The
target of the film is the truth. The truth which is impossible to
identify- we are on the Bosnian front lines – amongst the
four main characters…” Paolo D’
Agostini , “ La Repubblica”
“…When
craving for a scoop turns the correspondent into a novelist, its
first victim is the truth…” “Il
Corriere della Sera”
