Movie Info

In the 1990's, singer-songwriter Milan Mumin, the lead singer of the hugely influential Serbian rock band, Love Hunters, electrified and gave voice to a generation of Serbians fighting an oppressive regime. Now, after ten years, we find Milan in New York City, driving a taxi (long shifts and loopy fares), cobbling together funds for a recording session of his dream album-to be recorded and released in America. When his bass guitar player suddenly quits, he finds a talented but prickly replacement, and a romantic spark, in a free-spirited guitarist named Kim. Just as rehearsals start picking up steam, Milan's longtime Serbian girlfriend Lela arrives with very different plans for their future-she wants him to come home to Serbia where his reputation will let him be anything he wants-but Milan is determined to make his recording-in America, at any cost.

Critic Reviews for Love Hunter

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (4)

The film's a sad, gentle valediction for a young artist's dream.

Village Voice
Top Critic

The premise might remind you of John Carney's Once, but this is grittier and less sentimental, grounded in disappointment and working-class drudgery.

Chicago Reader
Top Critic

Love Hunter is consistently engaging, mainly thanks to its star's winning personality.

Top Critic

In its feel for nocturnal light, this is one of the most refreshing New York independent features since Ramin Bahrani's "Man Push Cart."

New York Times
Top Critic

Lots of bittersweet charm, but lacking some reality checks. Like hey, the American dream is currently located under the rubble of the ongoing economic crisis in progress. Not to mention how US bombs buried Serbia under rubble 16 years ago this week.

WBAI Radio

All else rings true: creativity versus personal commitment, sacrifices for your art which might not pan out, the scintillating but sometimes scuzzy New York scene.
