While some viewers may take issue with the simplifications, elisions and composites of Bjelogrlić and company’s approach , others will delight in his re-creation of a bohemian milieu filled with multi-ethnic performers, poets, artists and sportsmen from a country that no longer exists. Even those who have never heard of the man will appreciate his warm baritone and the melancholy, lived-experience lyrics of his songs.
When just starting out in the late 1950s, Toma receives a career boost from the already successful thrush Silvana Armenulić , a native Bosniak known as the “Queen of Sevdalinka.” Over the years, they harmonize wonderfully in duets, but never consummate the sexual relationship Toma desires. He writes several songs about her and gives her one of his best, “I don’t need life without you my darling,” which became one of her biggest hits.
Of course, Toma has his vices too. He drinks to the point of destroying his kidneys, smokes like a chimney and loses a small fortune gambling with cards and dice — familiar biopic tropes that Bjelogrlić shoots in an equally clichéd manner. But when not smashing glasses in aor picking fights in a casino, lead actor Marić, manages to convey Toma’s easy charm, lack of pretension and charismatic stage presence.
