"Man is Not a Bird"
1965
Directed by Dusan Makavejev
Set in a Serbian
mining town, Man Is Not a Bird is a film that focuses on an engineer and a
young hairdresser with whom he has an affair. The film "blends actuality with fiction
in a manner so unselfconscious as to seem almost natural. Makavejev brings an instinctive
poetry to the editing of the film, intercutting brilliantly Beethoven's Ode to Joy
being performed inside the copper factory, and Jan and Raika making love together with a
quiet, feverish urgency" (International Film Guide). Serbian with English
subtitles.
80 minutes. |
