Mart 2024.
Dear passengers,
Dragi putnici,
PREMA VEROVANJU STARIH RIMLJANA, upravo je mart bio mesec kojim je počinjala sledeća godina. U avio-industriji to je najčešće mesec u kom počinje let- nja sezona. Iako se u avijaciji razlika između zimske i letnje sezone polako gubi, pred nama je dinamičan period tokom kog ćemo biti u prilici da putnicima po- nudimo izvesne novine, više destinacija za putovanje i još bolju uslugu. Svakog 8. marta u svetu se obeležava Međuna- rodni dan žena. I kod nas u kompaniji žene su izuzetno važne i deo su svih timova. Posebno nas raduje činje- nica da je praktično izjednačen broj koleginica i kolega koji rade u Er Srbiji. Iz godine u godinu zapošljavamo sve više žena koje su se opredelile da karijeru grade upravo u avio-industriji, a srpsku nacionalnu avio-kom- paniju vide kao željenog poslodavca. Kada već govorimo o Danu žena, da li ste razmišljali o osmomartovskom putovanju sa vama dragom osobom? Znate li gde ćete provesti predstojeće uskršnje praznike? Ukoliko još uvek niste isplanirali naredno putovanje, obra- tite pažnju na naše predloge u ovom broju magazina „Ele- vejt“, možda vas inspirišu i motivišu da već danas rezervi- šete avio-karte do destinacija o kojima ste oduvek maštali. Od 15. aprila Er Srbija će leteti direktno iz Beograda do Mostara i mi vam od srca preporučujemo da iskori- stite prve slobodne dane i predstojeće proleće da upo- znate taj grad u Bosni i Hercegovini. Do Mostara ćemo leteti tri puta nedeljno, ponedeljkom, petkom i nedeljom, što ga čini idealnom destinacijom za vikend putovanje. Za samo 50 minuta našim udobnim avionima iz Beogra- da ćete stići do grada na Neretvi, a onda vam je potreb- no samo malo mašte za dobar provod. Javite nam utiske sa leta i podelite sa nama iskustvo sa putovanja. Možda se baš vaša priča ili fotografija nađe u novom broju ovog magazina i bude inspiracija drugima. Uvođenjem Mostara u našu mrežu destinacija, put- nicima smo približili još jednu tačku u regionu. Er Srbija sada leti do čak 17 gradova bivše Jugoslavije, što putnicima daje priliku da dobro upoznaju zapadni Balkan i da preko Beograda stignu do različitih destinacija u Evropi, Sever- noj Americi i Aziji, do kojih letimo u redovnom saobraćaju. Na raspolaganju su vam i brojne sezonske linije Er Sr- bije. Palma de Majorka, Bari, Sicilija, grčka ostrva i grado- vi na obali Jadrana, poput Pule, Rijeke, Splita, Dubrovnika i Zadra, uvek su dobri domaćini i zato ne propustite pri- liku da ih baš ove godine posetite. Kud god da se uputi- te, potrudićemo se da vam olakšamo putovanje i od sa- mog početka ga učinimo prijatnim. I zato uživajte u letu i srećan put!
ACCORDING TO THE ANCIENT ROMANS, March was the first month of the new year, while in the modern avia- tion industry it is most often classed as the first month of the summer season. Although the difference between the winter and summer seasons is slowly fading in aviation, a dynamic period is still ahead of us, during which we will be able to offer certain changes to passengers, more desti- nations to travel to, and an even better service. International Women’s Day is celebrated on 8 th Mar- ch. Women are vital at our company and are included in all of our teams. We are particularly pleased by the fact that Air Serbia practically has an equal number of male and fe- male employees. Year after year, we have been hiring ever more women who’ve chosen to build their careers in the aviation industry and view the Serbian national carrier as a desirable employer. While we’re on the subject of International Women’s Day, have you been thinking about taking a trip with your loved one on 8 th March? Do you know where you will spend the coming Easter holidays? If you still haven’t planned out your next trip, check out our suggestions in this issue of Elevate. They just might inspire and motivate you to bo- ok flights to destinations you’ve always dreamt of visiting. Starting on 15 th April, Air Serbia will fly directly from Bel- grade to Mostar, and we warmly recommend that you use your first free days and the coming spring to see this city in Bosnia & Herzegovina. We will fly to Mostar three times a week, on Mondays, Fridays and Sundays, which makes it an ideal destination for a weekend trip. After a comfor- table flight from Belgrade lasting just 50 minutes, you will arrive in this city on the River Neretva and require just a little imagination to have a good time. Let us know your impres- sions about the flight and share your travel experience wi- th us. Your story or photo just might be featured in the new issue of this magazine, and serve as inspiration to others. By adding Mostar to our network, we’ve brought anot- her location in the region closer to our passengers. Air Ser- bia now flies to 17 cities of the former Yugoslavia, allowing passengers to experience the Western Balkans, and, via Belgrade, reach various European, North American and Asian destinations to which we have scheduled flights. Air Serbia’s numerous seasonal flights are also at your disposal. Palma de Mallorca, Bari, Sicily, the Greek islands and Adriatic cities like Pula, Rijeka, Split, Dubrov- nik and Zadar are always good hosts, so don’t miss the opportunity to visit them this year. Wherever you go, we will strive to ensure your trip is easy and enjoyable from the very start. Therefore, enjoy your flight and have a good trip!

NASTAVLJAJU SE REKORDNI REZULTATI I U 2024. RECORD-SETTING RESULTS CONTINUE IN 2024
ER SRBIJA U JANUARU PREVEZLA PREKO 50.000 VIŠE PUTNIKA NEGO U ISTOM MESECU 2023. / AIR SERBIA CARRIED OVER 50,000 MORE PASSENGERS THIS JANUARY THAN LAST
Kompanija je u januaru ove godine prevezla 269.725 putnika, što je povećanje od 23 odsto u poređenju sa istim mesecom prošle godine
od nas zavisi, o čemu svedoče i ja- nuarski rezultati. Prevezavši preko 50 hiljada putnika više nego u istom mesecu 2023. godine, pokazali smo da uvek može još bolje. Nadamo se da će se taj dobar trend nastaviti i tokom narednih meseci – rekao je Ji- rži Marek, generalni direktor srpske nacionalne avio-kompanije. Najpopularnije destinacije u mreži Er Srbije u januaru 2024. go- dine, kada je reč o zapadnoj Evro- pi, bile su Cirih, Pariz, Beč, Milano i Rim. U regionu to su Podgorica i Ti- vat, dok su u široj evromediteranskoj zoni najtraženiji letovi bili do Istanbu- la, Barselone i Atine.
SRPSKA NACIONALNA AVIO-KOMPANIJA je tokom pr- vog meseca tekuće godine obavi- la 3.457 letova, odnosno 700 letova više nego u januaru 2023. godine. To je najbolji januarski rezultat Er Sr- bije od 2013. godine, odnosno od kada kompanija posluje pod sadaš- njim imenom. – Prethodna godina bila je jed- na od najuspešnijih za nacionalnu avio-kompaniju otkako je osnova-
na pre skoro 97 godina. Poverenje nam je ukazalo 4,19 miliona putni- ka, pokrenuli smo 23 nove destinaci- je, osnažili i podmladili flotu, pojačali naš tim sa više stotina novih kole- ginica i kolega, promovisali 23 no- va kapetana. Veoma smo ponosni na ostvareno, ali ujedno i svesni da je avio-industrija složen sistem u kojem uspeh zavisi od brojnih faktora. Naše je opredeljenje da u svakodnevnom radu budemo orijentisani na ono što

The Serbian national airline carried 269,725 passengers in January 2024, representing a 23% increase compared to the same month of 2023 THE SERBIAN FLAG CARRIER operated 3,457 flights during the first month of the year, which is 700 flights more than in January 2023. This marks Air Serbia’s best January result since 2013, or since the company began operating un- der its current name. “Last year was one of the most successful years for the natio- nal flag carrier since it was foun- ded almost 97 years ago. A total of 4.19 million passengers placed their trust in us, while we launc- hed flights to 23 new destinations, strengthened and rejuvenated our fleet, added hundreds of new colleagues to our team, and pro- moted 23 new captains. We are very proud of what we achieved,
but, at the same time, we are awa- re that the aviation industry is a complex system in which succe- ss hinges on numerous factors. In our day-to-day operations, we choose to focus on the things that are in our control, as evidenced by our January results. By carrying over 50,000 passengers more than in the same month of 2023, we showed that we can always do better. Let’s hope that this posi- tive trend will continue in the co-
ming months as well”, said Air Ser- bia CEO Jiri Marek. When it comes to Western Eu- rope, the most popular destinati- ons in the Air Serbia network in Ja- nuary 2024 were Zurich, Paris, Vienna, Milan and Rome. Podgo- rica and Tivat remained the most popular destinations across the re- gion, while the most popular flights in the wider Euro-Mediterranean area were to Istanbul, Barcelona and Athens.

ZAŠTO VOLITE AVIONE?
WHY DO YOU LIKE PLANES?
Sjajan je osećaj biti u oblacima Being in the clouds is a brilliant feeling
Ko je Husa Husein Alijević, poznat kao Husa „Beat Street“, srpski je pevač i jedan od osnivača pomenute gru- pe. Nakon što se povu- kao sa scene, pisao je pe- sme za mnoge izvođače, a u žižu se vratio u ulozi Džeja Ramadanovskog u filmu „Ne- delja“. Iako nije glumac, Husa se odlično snašao i predstavio le- gendarnog Džeja, kojeg je i privat- no dobro poznavao. – MNOGO VOLIM DA LE- TIM jer je sjajan osećaj biti u oblacima, a i brzo stignem na odredište. Odmalena mi je bio fas- cinantan taj pogled iz ptičje per- spektive, naročito kad se prelazi preko morskih ili planinskih pej- zaža. Uživam da sedim pored pro- zora i pokušavam da prepoznam po vrhovima planina gde se u tom trenutku nalazim. Dobro je pro- meniti perspektivu, mnoge stva- ri počnu da izgledaju sasvim dru- gačije... Bez čega ne ulazite u avion? – U avion ne idem bez ranca u kome imam slušalice i knjigu. Volim da prelistam avionski časo- pis i da se upoznam sa mestom u koje letim, naročito ako ni- sam nikada bio u njemu. Slu- šanje muzike u avionu budi moju muzičku kreativnost, pa sam tako i neke lepe pe- sme napisao upravo u toj atmosferi.
“I REALLY LOVE TO FLY be- cause it’s a brilliant feeling to be in the clouds, and I also arrive in my destination quickly. I found that bird’s eye view fascinating from an early age, particularly when travers- ing seas or mountainous landscapes. I enjoy sitting by the window and trying to recognise where I’m cur- rently at from the mountain peaks. It’s good to shift your perspective, which causes many things to start to look completely different...” What don’t you board a plane without? “I don’t get on a plane with- out a backpack, which contains my headphones and a book. I like to flip through the airline magazine and get acquainted with the place to which I’m flying, particularly if I’ve never previously been there. Listening to music on a plane awakens my musical creativi- ty, so I’ve written some beau- tiful songs in that atmosphere.”
Husein Alijević, muzičar/ musician
WHO IS HUSA Husein Alijević, better known as Husa Beat Street, is a Ser-
bian singer and one of the founders of the noted band. He wrote songs for many art- ists after withdrawing from the scene, only to return to the limelight in the role of Džej Ram- adanovski in the film Sunday. Despite not being an actor, Husa
handled himself wonderfully in repre- senting the legendary Džej, who he also knew well privately.

Athens by the sea
You don't need to board a ferry to es- cape the bustle of the Greek capital. Just take a short bus or tram ride and you'll find yourself in the sheltered Sa - ronic Gulf, which stretches from the so- uthern suburbs of Athens to the sout- hernmost point of Attica, Cape Sounion. Just a 30-40-minute drive will take you to a place where urban sprawl gives way to an idyllic, palm-fringed setting. Take the opportunity to relax at a water-
front café, stroll the picture-perfect pro- menades and the marinas, shop at one of the area’s modern shopping centres or entertain yourself in one of the coa- stal avenue’s buzzing clubs, which ha- ve brought a touch of Mykonos to town! But before all of that, you first have to fly there – which is made easy thanks to daily Air Serbia flights – and then em - bark on your March adventure to disco- ver the beauty of Athens.

that was home to fishermen, shepherds and farmers. Its inner streets are now den- sely packed with apartment blocks, courtesy of the bu- ilding boom of the 1960s. Along the palm-lined prome- nade, children’s playgrou- nds, an open-air cinema and a luxurious marina genera- te the vibe of a year-round resort. Faliro is the gateway to the Athens Riviera and an easy launchpad to explo- re Piraeus and the city cen- tre. Restaurants and cafés adorn the attractive and gli- tzy Flisvos Marina, while Fa- liro’s beach and waterfront promenade provide for a qu- ick and scenic escape from urban life. Promenade Faliro’s seafront promena- de is one of the most scenic places to exercise in Athens. All day—and well into the evening—you’ll see joggers and cyclists, skateboarders and strollers, all enjoying the coastal aspect. Park benc- hes surround two giant out- door chess boards, where you can watch locals going head-to-head. The promena- de is also a popular starting point for cycling trips along the Athens Riviera. Cycle la- nes curve a route along the coastline, linking Faliro wi- th nearby Piraeus or, further south, to the glitzy Glyfada.

Beneath it all, though, Glyfada’s social side remains refreshingly grounded, wi- th souvlaki fast-food joints, cinemas and markets sha- ring street space with tren- dy bars.

Kyprou is ground zero for serious shoppers who aren’t intere- sted in Metaxa’s high-street trinkets.

Pun- ctuated by several marinas and cafes, they’re within ea- sy reach of Athens city cen- tre by tram or bus (the third beach has the better sand and cleaner water).

Nekada uspavano priobalno naselje sada je jedna od najatraktivnijih tačaka na Atinskoj rivijeri Once a sleepy suburban hub, Voula is now one of the Athens Riviera’s most attractive spots
Vula Ušuškana između blista - ve Glifade i luksuznog Vulja - gmenija, pospana mala Vula je nekada bila nešto kao za - nemareni srednji brat. Ali svi znamo da se vremena menja- ju. Ovo skromno primorsko predgrađe sada se svrsta - va među najkosmopolitskije u glavnom gradu. Kada je reč o izlascima, mnogi čak bira - ju Vulu umesto Glifade zbog njene šik, ali prijatne atmos - fere. Na samo 16 km od centra grada još uvek se može pro - nać i duh stare Vule, odmah pored sofisticiranih vinskih i suši barova, koncept storova i otmenih restorana koji po - krivaju sve kuhinje sveta. Upr - kos tome, Vula je zadržala svoj komšijski duh, puno ze - lenila i parkova. To je uglav - nom stambeno naselje i mno- gi ga biraju da započnu život sa svojim porodicama jer je mirno, ima dobre javne ško - le, sve je vrlo blizu i dobro po - vezano. Vula je svakako jedno od naj - lepših mesta da uživate u opuštajuć em pić u sa pogle - dom na more. Ako je sunčano vreme, idite u šetnju uz oba - lu, od poslednje stanice tram - vaja do oblasti Kavuri. Uživa - ete u pogledu i mirisu mora, možete se zaustaviti usput i popiti kafu na obali, a zatim nastaviti dalje. Takođe mo - žete organizovati sebi piknik na travi ili na javnim plažama, pa se jednostavno opustiti uz čisto plavo nebo i more – u atinskom stilu.
Voula Nestled between glitzy Glyfada and the upsca- le enclave of Vouliagmeni, sleepy little Voula used to be like the overlooked middle sibling. How the times have changed… This unassuming seaside suburb now ranks among the most cosmo- politan in the Greek capi- tal. When it comes to nights out, many Athenian south-si- ders are now choosing Vo- ula over Glyfada, thanks to its chic but cosy vibe. Located just 16km from the city centre, the spirit of old Voula can still be found, but
so can sophisticated wine and sushi bars, concept sto- res, posh delis and classy dining options covering all types of cuisine. But Voula has nonetheless retained its friendly neighbourhood spi- rit and boasts plenty of gree- nery and parks. Mainly a re- sidential area, lots of couples choose it as the neighbour- hood in which to start the- ir families, due to it being tranquil and having good pu- blic schools, and the fact that everything is very close and convenient. It is one of the most beauti- ful places to enjoy a relaxing drink with a sea view. If the weather is sunny, take a nice walk beside the shore, from the last stop of the tram to the Kavouri area. This sce- nic walk provides opportuni- ties to stop on your way and drink coffee with a sea view, before continuing your walk to Kavouri. You can also ha- ve a picnic on the grass or at the public beaches or just chill Athenian style, enjoying the clear blue skies and sea.

Vuljagmeni Lepo se smestio na jugo- zapadnom podnožju plani - ne Imitos, oko 40 minuta od grada. Luksuzni gradić sa tropskom atmosferom to - kom cele godine, za Atinu je ono što je Kan za Azur - nu obalu. Palme, fontane i osunčani travnjaci puni ne - vena nižu se avenijom Ati - nas, najavljujući dolazak u ovo južno predgrađe čija je glavna igra – dokolica. Moderni tipovi iz Kolonakija i Kifisije su nanjušili zaba - čeni rukavac gde se nekad samo odlazilo da umoči - te prste u vodu. Jer Vulja - gmeni možda nema neku ponudu kulture i kupovine (namerno), ali se razmeće najlepšim plažama u Atini i najboljim restoranima na obali mora. Duž ulice Fle - ming (Ulica milionera) i u zelenom Kavuriju naći ćete neke od najskupljih nekret - nina u prestonici.
Jezero Gotovo skrivena od pogleda, iza avenije Posejdonos nala- zi se prelepa potopljena pe- ć ina jezera Vuljagmeni, ko - je ovom predgrađu daje ime („voulagmeni“ na grčkom znači „potopljeno“). Otvoreno tokom cele godine, jezero je zapravo bilo krečnjačka peć i - na, obrubljena žutim liticama i napajana podzemnim mine- ralnim strujama koje ostaju na konstantnoj temperaturi od 24 °C. Jezero je okruženo raskošnim travnjacima i le - žaljkama, a tu je i restoran sa živim džez nastupima ispod osvetljenih stena. Kavuri Zapadna polovina Vuljagme - nija, od avenije Atinas do mora, verovatno je najlepše lice ovog mesta. Obuhvata dva poluostrva, Megalo i Mi - kro Kavuri (Veliki i Mali rak), prekrivena je borovima i do- mać in je raskošnim vilama, netaknutim uvalama za ku- panje i čuvenom hotelu „Four Seasons Astir Palace“.

Vouliagmeni Sitting pretty on the so - uth-western foot of Mount Ymittos, approximately a 40-minute drive from the ci- ty, this luxe resort town has a year-round tropical vibe and is to Athens what Cannes is to the French Riviera. The- re’s next to no graffiti. Palm trees, fountains and sunny beds of marigolds line At- hinas Avenue, heralding your arrival in this most self-awa- re of southern suburbs, whe- re the main game is leisure. Kostis Georgiou’s bright zo- omorphic sculpture Equus accentuates the near con- stant blue of the sky and the sweep of Vouliagmeni Bay, with its luxury yachts and members-only nautical clubs and marinas. Fashionable types from Kolo- naki and Kifissia once turned their noses up at this “remo- te backwater, where one only went to dip one’s toes in the water”. Vouliagmeni still falls rather short when it comes to culture and shopping (de- liberately), but it does flaunt Athens’ comeliest free and paid beaches, as well as its finest seaside dining. You’ll find some of the capital’s pri- ciest real estate along Fle- ming Street (the municipali - ty’s Millionaire’s Row) and in verdant Kavouri. Lake Almost hidden from view be- hind Posidonos Avenue is the beautiful sunken cavern of Lake Vouliagmeni, whi- ch gives this southern subu- rb its name (vouliagmeni me- ans “sunken” in Greek). Open year-round, the lake is actu- ally a flooded limestone ca- ve that’s lined with tawny cli- ffs and fed by underground mineral currents that remain at a constant 24° C. The lake is flanked by luscious lawns
and sunbeds, while there’s al- so a restaurant with live jazz performances under the illu- minated rocks. Kavouri Vouliagmeni’s western half, from Athinas Avenue to the sea, is arguably the postco- de’s prettiest face. It encom- passes the adjoining pine-co- vered peninsulas of Megalo and Mikro Kavouri (Big and Little Crab) and is home to la- vish villas, pristine swimming coves and the iconic Four Se - asons Astir Palace Hotel. It’s here that you’ll find one of the Athens Riviera’s most po- pular promenades – the pa- ved seafront path that starts just after Lasithi Café on Iliou Street and has been spruced up with greenery and new ea- teries...
Bez obzira na to u koje doba godine posetite luksuzni Vuljagmeni, velike su šanse da ć ete se oseć ati kao da ste na letnjem odmoru No matter what time of year you visit upscale Vouliagmeni, chances are you’ll feel like you’re on a summer holiday

Temple of Sounion Of the many things to do in the Athens Riviera, visiting Ca- pe Sounion probably ranks top.

He placed himself among the young men to be sacrifi - ced, slayed the Minotaur, and made his way out of the fa- mous labyrinth with the help of Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos. Upon his victo- rious return, however, he for- got to change the black sails of his ship to white ones – the agreed signal that the voyage had been a success and that he was still alive. King Aegus, who was anxiously awaiting his son’s return from this very spot, saw the black sails and, in his despair, leapt to the sea below, ending his life and gi- ving the sea its name. Today The Temple that we see to- day is formidable – once wi- th columns numbering 13 on the long sides and 6 at each end, while entirely enclosed at the centre of the temple was the Naos - the hall of wors- hip. None of these elements remain, but it would have mu- ch resembled the one at the Temple of Hephaestus in the Ancient Agora of Athens and it is believed that this temple was actually a work of the sa- me architect. The Naos conta- ined an enormous cult, bron- ze statue of Poseidon. Many of the columns are long gone too, but enough of the original structure is intact to give one a full sense of its grandeur. Li- ke the Parthenon, the columns of the Temple of Poseidon are in the Doric order, prized for its austere beauty.

METJU VON, REDITELJ Bioskop je jedno od poslednjih mesta u kom možemo da budemo zajedno
„Argajl“ je porodični film koji je čist eskapizam, pa čak i zaista dobar film za ljubavne sastanke. Svet trenutno nije sjajno mesto, tako da je zračak sunca – čak i u mračnoj prostoriji – dobra ideja, kaže poznati reditelj S pisateljica špijunskih bestselera po imenu Eli Konvej (Brajs Dalas Hauard) uhvacena je u pravoj špijunskoj avanturi kada, zajedno sa svojim uvek nezadovoljnim ljubimcem, po- staje meta mračnog sindikata sa podlim na- merama. Čini se da je štiti nonšalantni stranac Ejdan (Sem Rokvel). Ali da li je on čovek za koga se izdaje? Da li je ona? Da li je bilo ko? „Argajl“, najnoviji film reditelja Metjua Vona, po- sle fantastičnih „Kingsmena“ jeste zabavno izvrgavanje ruglu jer se Von zapravo podsmeva špijunskom žan- ru kojem je i sam mnogo doprineo, i karikira ga. Kao i u svakom njegovom projektu, sve je prenaglašeno i za kritiku teško prihvatljivo. Ali publika bi trebalo da uži- va, bar tako veruje sam reditelj, kojeg pitamo šta ga je uopšte inspirisalo da snimi „Argajl“... – Pošto sam pomogao da se orkestrira ono što lju- di očekuju od špijunskih trilera, mislio sam da je vreme da uzmem neke klišee kojih se držim i izvrnem ih. To- kom pandemije proveo sam dosta vremena kod kuce gle- dajuci s decom filmove iz osamdesetih i pomislio sam: „Vau, ovi filmovi su sjajni!“ Zabavni su i donose najlep- ši eskapizam. Jednostavno sam pomislio da ce ljudima nakon kovida trebati nešto što ce ih nasmejati i pružiti osecaj da ih je neko zagrlio, dok su istovremeno na vrlo uzbudljivoj vožnji. Po čemu se onda razlikuje od vaših prethod- nih filmova? – Mnogo je mekši, „Argajl“ je PG-13! Želeo sam da snimim film koji će biti svojevrsni protivotrov „Kingsme- nu“, ali i da bude vrhunski film za ljubavne sastanke, što se, mislim, i ostvarilo. Šta je uopšte vaša glavna motivacija kao film- skom stvaraocu?

MATTHEW VAUGHN, DIRECTOR Cinema is among the last places where we can be together Argylle is a family film that’s pure escapism, and even makes a really good date movie. The world is not a great place right now, so having a ray of sunshine – even in a dark room – is a good idea, says this famous director A bestselling spy novelist named Elly Con- way (Bryce Dallas Howard) finds herself caught in the middle of a real-life espio- nage adventure when she is targeted, along with her permanently disgruntled pet, by a shadowy syndicate with nefarious intentions. Dishev- elled stranger Aidan (Sam Rockwell) seems to be protect- ing her, but is he who he says he is? Is she? Is anyone? Argylle, the latest picture from director Matthew Vaughn since his fantastic Kingsman series, arrives as an amusing satire, given that Vaughn actually mocks and derides the spy genre that he has himself contributed to greatly. And, like all of his projects, here everything
– Samo da ispričam dobru priču. Sa „Argajlom“ ni- sam pokušao da ponovo osmislim žanr, vec sam ga izvr- nuo. Uvek režiram kao da sam deo publike i razmišljam: „Šta bih voleo da vidim u ovoj sceni?“ Onda se trudim da to uradim. Naravno, svi filmovi imaju formulu, ali po- nekad su formule malo previše očigledne, pa sam rešio da promenim nekoliko sastojaka. Najbolji primer je ka- da je nekom palo na pamet da spoji so i karamel. U po- četku sam mislio da je to loša ideja, ali kada sam probao, shvatio sam da je ipak bila odlična! Pokušavam da ura- dim isto i sa filmovima, da dodajem neočekivane sastoj- ke s nadom da će zadržati dobar ukus. Tu je i mačka koja igra veliku ulogu u filmu, tačnije mačak Alfi? – U početku smo za tu ulogu angažovali profesionalnu mačku koja je bila skupa i u neku ruku beskorisna. Zato sam jednog dana ušao u cerkinu spavacu sobu, zamolio je da uhvati našeg mačka Čipa i rekao joj da ce on raditi sa mnom naredna tri meseca. Bilo je bizarno svaki dan ići na posao sa mačkom u autu i deliti prikolicu s njim, ali je na kraju bio savršen izbor. Čip je zabavan i sladak, a čak je i bio zvezda nekih scena umesto nas. Ovaj projekat mora da je bio pomalo porodič- ni, budući da je na produkciji radila vaša su- pruga Klaudija, a bila su uključena i vaša de- ca, pa čak i mačka? – Da, iako je porodica na ovaj ili onaj način oduvek bila deo mojih projekata. Oni su uticali na mene i po- mogli u svakom filmu koji sam snimio, iako ovde ima- ju zvaničniju ulogu. A rezultat je film koji je veoma zabavan... – Pa, i dalje mislim da ljudi treba da budu povezani u smislu čovečnosti, a bioskop je jedno od poslednjih me- sta na koje možemo da odemo i zajedno doživimo priču – sa svim njenim usponima i padovima.

INTERVJU / INTERVIEW
Henri Kavil Ovaj film ne shvata sebe previše ozbiljno
HENRY CAVILL THIS FILM DOESN'T TAKE ITSELF TOO SERIOUSLY
Henri Kavil, poznat kao Supermen u filmu „Čovek od čelika“, kao i po seriji „Veštac“, igraće glavnu ulogu u novoj verziji filma „Gorštak“, koja se tek očekuje, a u međuvremenu ga gledamo kao Argajla, lepog i izma- štanog špijuna u istoimenom filmu... Za početak, kako vam se desio ovaj projekat? – Na najjednostavniji način: Metju Von me je pozvao i nagovorio me. Poznajemo se vec neko vreme i imam ogromno poverenje u njega. Rekao je: „Vidi, znam da zvuči ludo, ali veruj mi“. A ja sam rekao: „U redu! Ho-
Henry Cavill, best known for playing Superman in Man of Steel, but also for his role in the series The Witcher, is set to play the lead role in the upcoming reboot of the cult film Highlander. In the meantime, however, we can see him perform as Argyle, a handsome and refined spy, in the eponymous movie... How did this project happen for you? “In the simplest of ways—Matthew Vaughn called me and talked me through it. We have known each other for a while now and I trust him enormously. He said, “Look, I know it
cu“. Dakle, poslao mi je scenario i svideo mi se. Radio sam sa njim na „Zvezdanoj prašini“ i od tada sam gledao sve njegove filmove. Divna stvar kod Metjua je to što on uvek pomera granice i menja stvari poku- šavajuci da donese nešto novo. On ima prst na pulsu društva. Ovde izvrce špijunski žanr i njegove junake... – Da, mislim da u raznim špijunskim franšizama koje znamo, uključujuci „Kingsmane“ koje je on režirao, do- bijate informacije o ovakvoj vrsti li- ka koji ja igram ovde, idealizovanoj verziji špijuna. I tako, uzmete sve te elemente, a onda ih preuveličate do besvesti dodajuci malo boje Metjua Vona u celu stvar. Vi zapravo dajete život super- špijunu Argajlu koji je stvorila spisateljica Eli Konvej? – Da, Argajl je izmišljeni lik u izmišlje- nom svetu. Bilo ga je zabavno igra- ti jer je sve vreme deo Eline mašte, što omogucava odvajanje od stvar- nog sveta u kome se nalaze ostali li- kovi. Sve što ima veze sa njim je po- jačano, kao i sama priroda priče.
sounds crazy, but trust me.” And I was like, “Okay! I will.” So, he sent me the script and I loved it. I worked with him on Stardust, and since then have watched all his films. The wonderful thing about Matthew is that he’s always pushing the envelope and chang- ing things, trying to bring something new. He has his finger on the pulse.” Here he turns the spy genre and the characters that populate it on its head. “Yes, I think that in the various spy fran- chises we know, including the Kingsman series that he directed, they all inform this kind of character I play here, because he’s very much an idealised version of a spy. And so, it’s about taking all those things and then just dialling them up to 11, add- ing a bit of Matthew Vaughn colour to the whole thing.” You bring to life the superspy Argyl- le created by novelist Elly Conway, por- trayed by Bryce Dallas Howard. “Yes, Argylle is a fictional character with- in a fictional world. He was fun to play, be- cause he’s in Elly’s imagination the whole time, which allows for a separation from the real world that Bryce and Sam’s char- acters inhabit. Everything that has to do
with him is heightened, as is the nature of the story.” So, how would you explain what the director has achieved with this movie? “What Matthew has made is, I think, something that is a reaction to the times. We are going through some par- ticularly difficult and trying times, and he has brought this in as a sense of bombastic, enjoyable, complex, but easy- to-watch entertainment. And it’s new! It’s not something you’ve seen before. So, it’s going to provide that sense of wonder as well. Argylle is a film that doesn’t take itself too seriously and that is a lot of fun, but there’s also an un- derlying message of believing in yourself even when you don’t think you can, because you’ll be surprised with what you can achieve.”
Dakle, kako biste objasnili šta je reditelj postigao ovim filmom?
– Ono što je Metju napravio, rekao bih, jeste svojevr- sna reakcija na današnje vreme. Prolazimo kroz teš- ke periode, a on se time pozabavio utkavši zabavu, bombastičnu, prijatnu, složenu zabavu koja je neop- terećujuća za gledanje... To nije nešto što ste ranije videli. Dakle, doneće vam i osećaj začuđenosti. „Ar- gajl“ je film koji sebe ne shvata previše ozbiljno i koji je veoma zabavan, ali postoji i poučni sloj da treba da verujete u sebe. Čak i kada mislite da nešto ne mo- žete, bićete iznenađeni onim što zapravo možete da postignete.
