About Luka's Jovana
A young married couple live alone in the Montenegrian mountains and work hard to make ends meet. Their ordinary life is interrupted by various different characters who pass by their home, and serve as a temptation, both carnal and spiritual, which threatens to corrupt the woman's innocent soul. Each new visitor is a threat of sorts and gradually she becomes suspicious towards the world and the unknown.
Directed by Živko Nikolić, Luka's Jovana leans on a strong ensemble — Merima Isaković, Bogoljub Petrović, Krunoslav Šarić — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1979.
