My Favorite Sergej Trifunović Movies and TV Shows

Here are my favorite Sergej Trifunović movies and TV shows, which I also consider his best:

• Movies:

1. Cabaret Balkan – His magnetic, Marlon Brando-like performance. You can feel his inspiration was Brando’s acting in ‘’A Streetcar Named Desire.’’
2. The Tour– Undoubtedly one of the best episode roles ever. He portrays a character that resembles Arkan. Sergej’s scene with Croatian actress Mira Furlan is an acting class in motion.
3. Premeditated Murder – The performance that put him on the map, playing a young provincial Partisan officer with a specific accent.
4. The Border Post – One of the most entertaining characters, who he took to another level with his electrifying charisma.
5. Savior – Don’t watch it at night because you might not be able to sleep. He’s so great in it that you even begin to dislike him, considering his negative character.
6. Ajvar– Sergej Trifunovic and Serbian actress Natasa Ninkovic have excellent on-screen energy. It was first seen shortly in ‘’Savior,’’ but they play the leading roles in ‘’Ajvar.’’
7. The Hornet – In order to play an Albanian, Trifunovic went to Kosovo to prepare for the role. The results weren’t surprising considering his dedication.
8. When I Grew Up I’ll Be A Kangaroo – A cult movie, and a cult role, from which people still quote lines on a daily basis.
9. Dudes – Another film and role with a cult status. Along with the previous one remains on the list of best comedies ever made in Balkan cinema.
10. A Serbian Film – His most controversial role so far, since he plays a crazy, mysterious, and suspicious adult film producer. However, as Sergej says, it may not be controversial since, unfortunately, these people exist.

1. In Therapy (Na Terapiji)
2. It’s Like Love (Ono kao Ljubav)
3. Black Gruya (Crni Gruja)
