Quote:
In a industrial town one business firm stands out with good management. Thanks to the agile director Todor, his successful policy of “World breakthrough” the whole town look forward to progress and incredibly quick prosperity in 1966. The director’s driver Milutin is the center of absurdly dramatic relations in which base manipulation dominates. His lonely, consequent, and reasonable admiration for Todor, his honesty and goodwill bring him into situations to which he can’t and won’t adapt to, nor will he quit…

Trials and tribulations of a Croatian Communist intellectual in the turbulent years before, during and after WW2.

Evening Bells (Croatian: Večernja zvona) is a 1986 Yugoslav film directed by Lordan Zafranović. It is based on Vrata od utrobe, a novel by Mirko Kovač.

Screenwriter Mirko Kovac adapted his novel about the self-aggrandizing Tomislav (Rade Serbedzija. Starting with Tomislav’s childhood, when he plays practical jokes on the nuns at his elite school, or spies on his brother and his wife in their bedroom, he is already offensive and secretive. These traits continue when he grows up and starts an affair with his brother’s wife, and marries someone else in spite of that affair. He ends up tormenting the woman he marries through a misunderstanding, though he survives World War II thanks to her efforts. After the war he goes into politics and continues in much the same vein as in his private life. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

The film was boycotted by Eastern Bloc. Reason – criticism of the communist regime.

Quote:
The Beauty of Vice is a comedy that depicts the chaos of our time, caused by a lack of proper morality, as well as the vacuum in which the foundations of civilization are disappearing.

This film shows the almost unrecognizably cruel world of Montenegro, whose ravines are ruled by archaic codes and horrible laws of “honor and blood”. An adulteress is punished by hitting a cake on her head with a club, while people in black hiss in the whiteness of the stone rubble. And then George appears, a man who succeeded on the shore. He shatters the petrified world of Medvedja. After him, his married godparents, Jaglika and her robust, simple husband, go to the sea, to a world ruled by money. A meeting of two opposing worlds. Old-fashioned people in contact with the unscrupulous are described.

Life and times of Nikola Tesla, famous scientist whose inventions were stolen, but whose greatest contribution to mankind remain a mystery to this day.

A bewitching film about Nikola Tesla (Peter Bozovic), one of the world’s most gifted but unknown scientific discoverers, the genius who ushered in the age of electricity, who was born in 1856 in the village of Smiljan, in the province of Lika, Croatia—then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Tesla’s inventions were stolen but whose name nevertheless remains legendary for his overwhelming scientific contributions. He is quoted as saying “Science is but a perversion of itself unless it has as its ultimate goal the betterment of humanity.”

The biopic attempts to clear up the mystery that surrounds him and his over 700 patents and numerous discoveries in electricity. They include some of the following: design of the first hydro-electric power plant in Niagara Falls, “space energy,” discovery of radio waves, builder of the first hydroelectric dam, inventor of the remote control, radar tracking for the military, x-ray, conductor of the first wireless transmission experiments at the Colorado Springs Experimental Station in 1899-1900, the Tesla Coil, the fluorescent light, receiver of unidentified signals from outer space, innovative user of the ionosphere for scientific purposes, converser with the dead, and his plans for the emerging science of free energy.

The film begins with his mysterious death in a NYC hotel in 1943, where the impoverished inventor wasn’t found until three days after his death. It left open the possibility that the Nazis had something to do with it. All his NYC notes were stolen, only his ashes were preserved for a museum in Belgrade.

A flashback takes us back to Tesla’s entry in 1884 as a young man in the United States arriving from Paris with four cents in his pocket, and his visit with the arrogantly tyrannical Thomas Edison in his lab. Edison hired Tesla but is hostile to his idea of alternating-current and rigidly defends his direct-current, already in use but soon to be proven inferior to Tesla’s discovery which was used to light the World Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893. Through his contact with Edison, the workaholic bachelor met lifetime friends Catherine and Bob Johnson–the editor of Century Magazine. He soon came to the attention of George Westinghouse, founder of the Westinghouse Electric Company, and will sign a contract with him for $10 million as Westinghouse buys his patent for alternating-current. When Westinghouse was being squeezed by Edison and General Electric, Tesla tore up his contract to save Westinghouse’s hide all because he felt honored that Westinghouse believed in his work. In 1900, Tesla began construction on Long Island of a wireless broadcasting tower. The project was funded with $150,000 capital from financier J. Pierpont Morgan (Orson Welles), but the project was abandoned when Morgan withdrew his financial support. Not interested in money Tesla worked to bring a clean and free energy source to the world, but was sabotaged by tycoon J.P. Morgan who was afraid that Tesla might actually have invented a way to give the world a free energy source. In Tesla’s later years he wasn’t able to find anyone to finance his projects and died with his ideas remaining on the drawing board.

Many stole from the non-competitive Tesla, including Marconi who took credit for inventing the radio from ideas he stole while allowed full access to Tesla’s lab. Tesla was also known for his eccentric behavior, refusing to shake hands with anyone and washing his hands frequently.

Yugoslavian vampire horror film
Directed by Djordje Kadijevic in 1973
Cast: Mirjana Nikolic, Petar Bozovic , Slobodan Perovic, Vasja Stankovic

This is a Yugoslavian female vampire horror film of the early 70s shot in the Serbian countryside and based on a novel. The film starts in a mill. The old miller listens strange bird voices and while he’s sleeping the millstone suddenly stops working and a strange creature with black hands, long nails, angry eyes and long teeth bites his neck and drinks his blood. You don’t manage to see the whole creature but you understand it’s a human, not animal…

After the shocking start the film turns to a talky romance between a young miller and a shepherd’s daughter with an angelic face and long blonde hair. Also we watch the comic arguements between his friends from the village. They’re always drunk and a funny priest is between them. The young guy talks to his lover’s father but he doesn’t want to hear a word about their marriage.

Later the vampiric creature attacks to the young miller in his mill. The same elements again, strange voices from the birds and the millstone stops. The creature attacks. Another scary scene but now ends a bit funny as our hero falls into flour and saves himself.

The company goes to an ugly old witch for her advise. She shows them the place where the vampire has been buried and they nail down a huge stake through the closed coffin (they affraid to open it). A butterfly comes out of the bloody coffin (I’m not sure but maybe “Leptirica” means “butterfly” in Serbian?)

The young miller -with a little help by his friends – takes away his lover from her house. They go to the village and prepare their marriage. The night before the marriage he sneaks into her room to make love with her while she’s asleep. But below her breast he discovers…a huge bloody hole !!

Yes, she’s actually the vampire. She opens her eyes and suddenly transforms to a disgusting bloodthirsty creature. She climbs over his neck from behind while he’s running like hell into the woods. Great slow motion here. This is the most powerful scene of the movie and I can tell you that this female vampire is the most creepy and frightful one in the film history !!
