A cinephile's wet dream, Makavejev's documentary about the sort of film we cherish - the first Serbian sound film, made in 1942 under the Nazi occupation - is fascinating and timeless, his first great work and a peek into film history.
Very smart and funny depiction of the ideology and happening in the former Jugoslavia.
More magpie nest film making from Makavejev in this fascinating collage of found film interspersed with newsreel and new documentary footage for an amusing commentary on political power and invasion, not to say the subject’s undimmed ego.
Brilliant. The footage of the former collaborators on the roof is an inspired choice. A brisk and stylish look at fascism, personal and societal brimming under a smart conceit. Sly and brilliant.
Excellent film, but it has nothing to do with Afghanistan or South Korea as it is written under the title
