This pastoral drama celebrates the dedication and courage of a man wholly given over to painting and art. In the story, a forestry worker (Stole Arandelovic) is transferred to a small village in Bosnia, and is seen to be constantly busy with some form of artwork. He even asks for women to model nude for him. This odd activity at first leads the suspicious villagers to attempt to torment him by desecrating his canvases, but he endures this period, marries a local woman, and dies prematurely. In an uncanny fashion, the director Ivica Matic's life mirrors this, his only film, in that he died unexpectedly in his late twenties, only a few days after the last scene was shot in 1976. It was compiled and edited for release by a group of his friends in the late 1980s. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Milena Dravic stars in this crime drama based on a newspaper story. A woman driving a stolen car is involved in a traffic accident. When the police arrive at the scene, the woman who was seen by several witnesses has vanished without a trace. Dravic won the "Best Actress" trophy at the Pula Film Festival for her portrayal of the chatty blonde. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

When a young poet comes to Belgrade, he still feels the sting of his rejection by publishers, and he is fueled with seething determination to prove his worth. After he writes editorials critical of university students who ignore the rights of others, he is beaten up by angry readers. He marries a middle-aged woman who is a wealthy publisher and becomes a successful journalist. Only after his wife's suicide does he regret his ruthless ambition and reflect on his all-consuming rise to the top. The feature does not sidestep the generation gap issue or the ugliness of social and political opportunism practiced in Yugoslavia. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

Dan Vadis is the main muscleman in this Italian sword-and-sandal opus, which predated Steve Reeves' Hercules by two years. Given the English-language dubbing of the actors, it's hard to tell whether or not the leading characters were really Hercules' offspring, or if they were rechristened to conform with TV's Sons of Hercules package of the early 1960s. Never mind. You'll forget all about who the characters are supposed to be as you watch Vadis and company take on dragons and giants on behalf of the Forces of Good. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

An interesting drama by Yugoslavian director Jovan Zivanovic about a young woman with internal conflicts, this is one of the few Eastern bloc films of this era without a covert or overt political message. Minja (Spela Rozin) leaves her provincial town suffering from some trauma caused by an older man. As she is on her way to studying in a big university she runs into a journalist and though she is angry, embittered, and temporarily without grounding, she has a one-night-stand. Her morals take a downward turn after arriving in the city and for awhile, it looks as though there is little hope of her recovering from her past wounds. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
