Offenders

Guided by their maverick sociology professor, three students set up separate experiments around the city to prove his "Tetris" theory of chaos: that human nature inevitably deteriorates from order to anarchy. With highly stylized black-and-white cinematography, capturing the sharp angular lines of Soviet architecture (and decrepitude), and a pulsating electronic score, this Serbian Pi is a hypnotizing journey into the dark souls and spaces of modern Belgrade.
