The post Vlatko Gilic – Dani od snova aka Days of Dreams (1980) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

“Dan više” is about a mudbath near the small Serbian town of Bujanovac that is famous for healing illnesses. People cover themselves from head to toe in mud and then float on the water: Vlatko Gilić created a ghostly, surrealistic scenario, whose everyday quality is concentrated into an allegory of human suffering and quest.
“Mr. Gilic’s films are called documentaries. But he’s superb at finding the astonishing images that lurk in the ordinary world. It’s as if he’d nabbed some magic from the air and wedded it to facts. And it’s a privilege to see through his eyes: Whatever interests him assumes a contagious excitement for us.”

In Continuo uses slaughterhouse imagery to present the warlike nature of man, first depicting the cleaning and mechanical preparations for the slaughterhouse and then the killing, however, the animal slaughter itself isn’t shown.

Moisture makes dried blood flow again: there’s a shock in that discovery as a hand scrubs the stained walls of a slaughterhouse, where men in white aprons prepare for the day’s killing. “In Continuo” is one of four recent documentaries by the Yugoslav film maker Vlatko Gilic, who has won five prizes in his own country, several in Germany and deserves many more. His work can be seen at the Film Forum, at 256 West 88th Street, through Sunday and Jan. 24-27. Don’t miss it.

Within the slaughterhouse, the preparations are quite ritualistic, as the men carefully wash the floor and sharpen knives that aren’t intended for carving cooked meat—but for cutting into live flesh. Suspense builds up to the carnage that we know will come. The animals’ slaughter isn’t shown; instead, thick blood oozes and swirls toward the gutters, and the evocation is more powerful than seeing the act itself. The men’s serious, intent faces imply that there are no jokes on this job. At first, they seem like soldiers getting ready for battle — later, as though they’re in the middle of a war.
