Person
Film is based on Miroslav Krleža’s The Ballads of Petrica Kerempuh, one of the capital works of Croatian literature. We are drawing parallels between ancient and modern time to emphasize that the masses were always oppressed by tyrants.
The film is based on a poem Ciganska, written by Miroslav Krleža, one of the greatest Croatian literary authors. The atmosphere, the complex surreal characters, and furthermore, the choice of an austere Krleža’s poem (1936), shows authors have made an aware reference to German expressionism. That way they have focused on depicting the psyche of characters, particularly stressing out ultimate angst, alienation in urban jungle, or baffling drive for self-destruction.
