Plot



Kreo is a successful young copywriter who works for a marketing company in Zagreb. He largely ignores his girlfriend Ana, preferring to spend time with his high school friends in rounds of alcohol, drugs and sex.

When one day Kreo causes a death of a woman while driving under the influence, and gets infected with HIV from a subsequent blood transfusion, his life is turned upside down.

Reception



In a favorable 2007 review in 'The New York Times', Jeannette Catsoulis describes the film as a "bleak drama [which] is an unusually perceptive scrutiny of absence and emptiness", emphasized further by gray and pastel tones of Branko Linta's cinematography.

Croatian Film Association's database of Croatian films describes 'I Love You' as a film with a modern style, dealing with an interesting and somewhat intriguing topic, but notes its one-dimensionality and predictability, arguing that characterization and depth were sacrificed in favor of the film's visual style.
