Language
Please, report to IMDB that there is no such a language as Serbo-Croatian (stated as the language of the movie). Tnx...
Absolutey!
My support to the author of this thread is motivated by the fact that movie itself is in dialect which is widely understood only across Dalmatia (south of Croatia's coastal region). It's where that stupid Dalmatian dogs come from. :)
To make the movie fully understandable for a regular Croat from the north of Croatia or inland, you need to provide subtitles or distribute dictionary of "exotic" words to the audience.
To make it fully understandable for all other people like citizen of Croatia's surronding countries, you need to give the people subtitles.
Therefore I agree and ask you to change the language of the movie to Croatian.
Hybrid languages such as Serbo-Croatian, Croato-Serbian, or a recent term for the same nonsence - "Slavic" don't live.
Let's call the things by their actual name.
Villagers and pesants in the movie speak Croatian.
Being born in Banja Luka as a Croat, I'm naturally combining both Serbian and Croatian. And well, I pretty much don't give a crap about what my language is called like.
To foreigners, there's really not that much difference in between those two branches of the same tree. I mean, if we started to distinguish those here on IMDb - where distinctions like those are negligible -, we should also stop films being called German, but Swabian, Bavarian, Platt, Palatian,... for IMDb, Serbo-Croatian is enough. We don't have to carry nationalist tendencies to a place like this.

So, pardon us who distinguish it, pardon the linguistics who distinguish Hindi and Urdu, Czech and Slovak... which happen to be more alike that two of those in the matter.
Pardon us for our "nationalistic tendencies". (Please explain this etiquette?)
Language is a matter of the linguistic science. It has nothing to do with subjective estimations made by wise guys from local pub who think that mastering a language is abilitiy to cheat on matchbox-swaping across the railway stations of the world.
See, standard language isn't spoken anywhere.
And being born in Banja Luka, you can't distinguish langugages one from another because phrases like "gimme fire", "switch back to channel 1" or "may you be *beep* by {optional}" are the same in at least five standards spoken across Balkan peninsula.
Being born anywhere doesn't make you eligible for this discussion.
Knowlege, studying, observation and monitoring makes you qulified.
See, in Banja Luka, as I remebember, official language was called srpskohrvatski, but few km north, it was the other way around.
Standardni je jezik suptilna, plinovita - ali vazna - kategorija.
Ali eto, nekima ne treba jer Jugosvabe imaju svoje misljenje, sponozorski nas tupkaju po glavi... ali zaboravljaju da i pastiri koji tu pasu travu - nauce ponesto. Osim tih svojih... nacionalistickih teznja.
P.S. Ak ti je dosadna, zas si se upeco? ;)
Kako su dosadni ovi takozvani hrvati,film je skoro gledala i beogradska publika na festu i vrlo dobro ga ocenila , dosadni ste vise sa tim nacionalizmom. A i jezik je nekada bio srpsko-hrvatski pa su se verovatno zbunili !!!
shareEto vidiš, sve se mijenja, jedino svi ostaju protiv vas.
shareEnglish please...Serbo-Croatian is used al language for every movie made in Croatia and Serbia. It is not a mistake...

Phillip!
It *IS* a mistake. Imdb can not decide this by making up arbitrary rules. They can look the issue up in the science books and put it right or remain wrong and uneducated, alas like all too many people with a voice through the internet nowadays.
Smile on,

P.S. Thanks to cacan for bringigng up the issue.
