Take Me Somewhere Nice

Director: Ena Sendijarević , Ena Sendijarević

2019 / 91min / DCP

Suspended in the limbo between girlhood and womanhood, Alma—a Bosnian who, like writer-director Sendijarević, has been raised in the Netherlands—takes a trip to the homeland she barely remembers after her estranged father is admitted to a hospital in their Balkan birthplace, and finds herself embarking on a journey of disorienting self-discovery. An off-kilter and always unpredictable road movie, Sendijarević’s feature debut shows a dry-as-dust deadpan wit and a healthy sense of the absurd, a breezy, playful work anchored by Sara Luna Zorić’s breakout lead performance.
