Okupacija u 26 slika - Occupation in 26 pictures

The plot is situated in Dubrovnik and I get the impression that Zafranovic wanted to show how nice, beautiful and nonchalant life was before the war by making it to look like it is in renaissance. Three friends (a Croat, an Italian and a Jew) are having the time of their lives, singing, laughing, and having fun and girls. Then the war breaks and their friendship is eclipsed by their nationalities and religions. Instead of songs and laugh there are scenes of violence and killings. And the way in which Zafranovic has shown all that hatred between Croats and Serbs, Nazis and Jews is superb and frightening at the same time. I must mention one more scene that amazed me. It is the scene of striptease in the whorehouse. Maybe that's because of Tanja Boskovic, who is, in my humble opinion, the sexiest Serbian actress ever, but the camera work with cruising along the room and shooting it all at once with sliding back and out of the room with Tanja naked and the statue in front in the same pose is magnificent.

A film contents shocking scenes of bus massacre that marks this movie as most disturbing picture ever filmed in Yugoslavia.In that scene,a group of imprisoned Jews (including Miho and his father),Serbs and communists was put into the bus.In the bus,a group of "Ustasha"'s killed one by one prisoner (all civilians)by most horrific methods,such as: a ortodox priest's tongue was cut out, so as one woman's nipple; few people were killed by sledgehammer; Miho's father was decapitated...And that's not just in film-"Ustasha"'s perpetrated a horrible massacres and killed thousands of innocent people during WW2.This film shows "ustasha"'s in only possible way-as a savage beasts.That's reason why this movie and director Lordan Zafranovic were on blacklist in Croatia,during reign of pro-"Ustasha" nationalist's dictature in that country (1990.-2000.). This movie shows one of the darkest chapters in history of Balcan.
