Idu dani

(Yugoslavia: Croatia, 1970)

Directed by: Fadil Hadžić
PHOTOGRAPHY: Frano Vodopivec
Synopsis:

This is the story of a strange character who permanently awaits something… This film expresses the director’s modern sense of humor of absurdity. Ivo Skrabalo, in his book 101 godina filma u Hrvatskoj, wrote that this film is a “Balkan variation of a theme from Waiting for Godot, in which persiflage didn’t quite work out”. The film can be regarded as an experiment and the leading man, Ivica Vidovic, is outstanding.
