An Albanian pilgrim, infected with an unknown disease, is on his way back to Belgrade from the Middle East. When doctors realize that it is a disease that has been considered eradicated, it is already too late – variola vera begins to languish and the hospital is quarantined.
Bleak and atmospheric horror/drama from Ex-Yugoslavia. Never heard of it before. Excellent dialogue, solid acting (the Swedish actor, a Bergman regular, who played the eerie Prof in House of the Yellow Carpet plays a senior doc here) and a memorable score. Fantastic ending even when you can see it coming.
Rip seems to come from a DVD bootleg which was transfered from a poor print, some lines, specs and color issues.
