Outstanding story for the time and place where was written
An excellent social drama that won first prize on the international festival held in Hollywood, California in 1971. It’s displaying real workers life of the social era in seventies Yugoslavia. Remarkable, straight forward, heart touching story, Honestly brave for the time when it was written and shot. Branko Reljic is outstanding writer. He wrote a lot of excellent stories that were unfortunately not published because of his radical democratic criticism of the countries inner politics. They were not suitable for the communist regime at the time. I had pleasure to know this wonderful man that never cared for material things but fought to give the world honest true vision of love and compassion that we are rapidly loosing. Mr. Branko Reljic has dedicated his life to his beliefs, and he stayed true to all the people around him. I had that privilege to read some of his novellas and I can happily recommend them.Read More »

This movie is mainly a love story, and the scenery is the first day of the civil war in ex Yugoslavia (June 1991). The main character is Ratko, an ex con, from some Bosnian “never go there” place. His most important characteristic is that he is colorblind, which gives him, in a symbolic way, the ability to see things differently than ‘majority around him’ (that is also an explanation of the movie title). On the beginning of the movie, Ratko will meet a city girl, who is a completely different person than him. On their strange voyage they will fall in love with each other and find the way to beat all differences.Read More »

Titanic has almost nothing to do with the steamer of the same name. Based on a short story of Ivo Andrić, famous Yugoslav Nobel Prize, this film is set in Sarajevo. But the catastrophe is nevertheless coming. Often badly translated under the title of Buffet Titanic, it is in fact the Titanic Bar, the name of the bar of jewish Mento Papo, character physically and psychologically marked by its doubts and its defects : its establishment is hiding a prohibited back gaming room, he is rather easy on drinking, he does not cease quarreling with his concubine, he is scorned by the Jews of Sarajevo, etc. The story is set during the Second World War, and when the news of the war arrive in Bosnia, Mento Papo is not ready.Read More »

In 1985, four middle-aged Yugoslav emigres return to Belgrade for the funeral of Mariana, their beautiful compatriot. They called her Esther, for Esther Williams, she was the coxswain for their four-man rowing team, and they each loved her. They’d last seen her in 1953, when they rowed her across the Adriatic, pregnant, to join her exiled father in Italy. In flashbacks we learn the story of their youthful baptism into sex, smoking, rock and roll (Hey Ba-ba-re-bop), Hollywood and Swedish films, blue jeans on the black market, and their rivalry with Ristic, the Communist Party youth leader for whom they had instant antipathy.Read More »
