Posljednja volja

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Posljednja volja or The Last Will is a 2001 Croatian film directed by Zoran Sudar and produced by Vicenco Blagaić. It is comedy about a tour guide in small Dalmatian town, played by Goran Višnjić, who inherited millions from a distant relative in USA only to find himself pursued by professional killers.

Posljednja volja was one of the more ambitious Croatian films in 1990s. It was supposed to be the first Croatian feature film made completely in private production, without state subsidies. It was also supposed to use charisma of Goran Višnjić and Dalmatian locations to promote Croatian tourism, as well as to encourage American filmmakers to use Croatian locations and film production resources in their future projects.

However, the production was hampered by many problems of financial nature, leading to all kinds of budget problems and lawsuits. Producers also failed to bring any major stars for Hollywood other than Angelica Bridges. Because of that, the film, although finished in 1999, had to wait until 2001 to be released in Croatian cinemas. There it received mixed reviews and anything but spectacular box-office numbers.
