2013: BEST BREAKTHROUGH - ISIDORA SIMIJONOVIC


No breakthrough was more impressive to me in 2013, in any field of filmmaking, than Isidora Simijonovic's performance in Maja Milos' Clip. At just 14 years of age, she delivers one of the year's most astonishing, fully-realised turns as a teenage girl in Serbia, struggling with her pubescent desires on one hand, and the cruelty inflicted upon her by unkind and unforgiving friends, relatives, acquaintances and partners. Simijonovic fearlessly inhabits this difficult role, with one of the most vivid characterisations on screen last year. I'd be happy to watch her in any role in any film.
