An absurd coincidence intertwines the lives of a Yugoslav hit-man, his former wife, with whom he is still obsessively in love with, and her boyfriend - a New York City cop, whose father was a criminal. "Uncle Vanya," as is his code name, grew up as an orphan in Bosnia. He didn't know his parents, so he didn't know if he was Serb, Croat or Muslim. A victim of his circumstances and his past in war-torn Bosnia, he became a hit man against his own will. He constantly wants to quit but can't, because he is blackmailed by his boss - a burnt-out former covert operations agent. Vanya's supposedly last job is a money for drugs exchange in a hotel, where everything goes wrong. Vanya takes a hostage - only it turns out the hostage is his former wife, Anna. Her boyfriend - the cop Dirk Malloy - gets on their trail, as well as Vanya's boss and two of his inept thugs - illegal immigrants from Lebanon and Italy. All of these characters do what they do out of or for love - or what they believe to be love. While on the run, Vanya and Anna argue and fight about their past, rediscover their passion, but again realize they can't be together. Dirk finally catches up with them, only to find out that Anna went with her kidnapper willingly. Through a series of confrontations, their lives and relationships unravel. For some, the end is another beginning, and for others it is another telling of the same story. --© Official Site [More]

The action is compelling, the film good looking, the acting first rate and the circumstances -- people from neglected nations in an alienating if not hostile urban landscape -- is moving.

The film is an atmospheric and complex thriller that, while not quite living up to its thematic ambitions, more than sustains interest along the way.

Serbian cinematographer Vladimir Subotic's photography transforms New York's outlying neighborhoods and anonymous streets into a weather-beaten dreamscape suffused with mystery, danger and the hope of heaven.

The story unfolds in nonlinear fashion, with the same events being shown several times, from different perspectives. The concept works especially well with the murder spree that sets up the movie.

Cool, mysterious and defiantly foreign, the mournful thriller Love plays out on the immigrant fringes of an indifferent New York City.

A multi-perspectival film vastly superior to Crash, Vladan Nikolic's dynamic thriller Love reinvigorates a stale cinematic format and imparts a compelling message all without a single head-on collision.
