Splav meduze / The Raft of Medusa (1980) DVD9
on August 4th, 2016 at 14:54
The film is described as a significant contribution to Slovenian and Yugoslav cinema as it "burst onto the scene in 1980 and re-introduced modernism, asserting a wonderful, nihilistic rebellion against all canons".
In the film we follow a group of avant-garde artists whose leader has set out to promote 'zenithism', his own homegrown movement that combines dadaist performance with Marxist agitation. Delivering equal doses of vaudeville, performance art, burlesque, and propaganda to a bemused, but often captivated audience, the itinerant performers make their way through the newly formed, united "Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes" (soon to be known as Yugoslavia), until rivalries, romantic entanglement, and political instability gradually take their toll.
