In 1999, during NATO’s bombing of Serbia, several trucks loaded with
corpses were driven all across the country, one at a time; their
destinations: rivers and lakes where the cars and bodies got sunk, to
erase every possible trace of what amounts to massacres. It’s never
openly stated what Vlada is transporting on that one particular haul
from somewhere in Kosovo to Belgrade – things are suggested, but
that’s all; still, if one had seen Ognjen Glavonić’s previous film,
the 2016 documentary DUBINA DVA, little is left to imagination. Well,
not quite: Nothing horrifying, repulsive, disturbing is ever shown in
either film – the mass shootings, piles of corpses are in your head
only. TERET, in fact, plays more like an ultra-minimalist action
thriller. Suspense derives solely from Vlada’s obvious anxieties, the
sheer amount of time things take and the sameness of the landscapes –
something will give, that much is clear, but when and why: who knows.
