The post Aleksandar Petrovic – Gruppenbild mit Dame AKA Group Portrait with a Lady (1977) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Dvoje was Petrovic’s first full-length feature film and obviously quite influenced by the French new wave. The film was in competiotion at 1962 Cannes festival. As Daniel Goulding puts it: “…It is an antioptimistic manifesto exploring a failed love relationship, played out in an alienated urban environment. An intimate film, it explored new possibilities for film language by replacing traditional narrative structures with intricate visual metaphors. “

From Klassiki:
One of the first films from Eastern Europe to explore the lives of the Roma in sympathetic detail, and to cast Romani-speaking Roma in order to do so, Aleksandar Petrović’s Cannes-winning classic builds a complex and humanistic narrative out of the misery of life in a Vojvodina village. Ill-fated romance leads the central trio of swaggering, mean-spirited Bora (Bekim Fehmiu), folk singer Lenče (Olivera Vučo), and young beauty Tisa (Gordana Jovanović) through a whirlwind of unforeseen circumstances, captured in striking colour and intricate period detail. Aleksandar Petrović was always the most accessible of the directors who made up Yugoslavia’s “Black Wave” avant-garde in the 1960s and ‘70s, and this tribute to unruly freedom is his most populist work.

From the Museum of Modern Art:
Aleksandar Petrović’s work betrays a genuine concern for people, places, and communities rarely seen on screen, and there is no better exemplar than his swan song, I Even Met Happy Gypsies. Set in a village on the Pannonian plain in northern Serbia, the film follows the dynamic, explosive life of the charismatic and self-destructive feather-gatherer Beli Bora Perjar. Petrović shows all the qualities of a great painter, bringing the texture and color of people’s inner lives onto the screen. Featuring an iconic performance by Bekim Fehmiu, and the definitive rendition of the song “Đelem, Đelem” by Olivera Katarina, I Even Met Happy Gypsies is a landmark in the cinematic portrayal of the Roma, the example to which all others refer, exceeding even the films of Slavko Vorkapich, Emir Kusturica, and Goran Paskaljević in its sheer authenticity. An international sensation, winner of the Grand Prix and FIPRESCI Prize at Cannes and an Oscar nominee, I Even Met Happy Gypsies is the most renowned work of the Yugoslav Black Wave. Now presented in a glorious restoration, it can be experienced for what it is: a true feast for the senses, heart, and mind.

The post Aleksandar Petrovic – Skupljaci perja AKA I Even Met Happy Gypsies (1967) (HD) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Plain of Vojvodina, Serbia, where many Gypsies live. Married to a woman much older than him with whom he has already had many children, Bora is often absent. His job as a feather worker takes him from village to village. On the road, he falls in love with Tissa, a young, vagabond and wild Gypsy on the run. Her brutal and possessive father-in-law Mirta makes a wedding proposal to a young Gypsy, hoping to keep her close to him. But Tissa rejects her young husband and, unbeknownst to everyone, leaves with Bora in the mountains to get married by a monk. But very quickly, Tissa gets bored and runs away again, decided to join Belgrade…

Quote:
Aleksandar Petrovic’s I Even Met Happy Gypsies has the distinction of being one of the earliest internationally released features to be made in the Romani language. Because of the tendency of nomadic people to pass down culture orally, it’s a language that has long struggled to be recognised and written into the annals of linguistic history.

Soundtracked by genuine Gypsy melodies and unafraid of depicting the shocking poverty of isolated traveller sites around what was then Yugoslavia, Petrovic’s story is one of small-time dramas and family machinations, filmed with a heightened black and white realism that gives it a stylised documentary feel. The subject matter, too, is ultimately fitting – ritualised courtship, elopements, domestic strife and a girl seeking to escape the cruelty of a domineering stepfather – all feel deeply relevant to the close-knit, family-oriented Traveller community.

Bora the Gypsy is married to an older woman, and he falls in love with the younger Tissa, who is being offered in marriage by her father, to a young gypsy man. This marriage arrangement is according to custom. Tissa rejects her husband, claiming he is not able to consumate the marriage, and Bora joins her. They get a monk in the mountains to marry them. Unable to return to the Gypsy camp, Tissa tries to reach Belgrad on her own, but a couple of truck drivers rape her, and she does return in misery to her tribe. Meanwhile, Bora defends his honour the traditional way, in a knife duwl, and kills his opponent. Therefore he, too, must leave the tribe. And yet, we’ll find happy gypsies… Written by Artemis-9
