"The Melody Haunts My Reverie"
1981
Directed by Rajko Grlic

Voted as the third best Yugoslav film ever made, and an Official Selection at Cannes, this daring film  is the story of an idealistic, young, partisan war hero who becomes a leader in the emerging socialist society of a small Croat village, and finds adjustment to the "new Yugoslavia" extremely difficult. He meets and falls in love with a middle-class ballerina, becomes involved with her bourgeois family and is eventually imprisoned. "A highly sensual romance…as passionate as it is politically catastrophic" (L.A. Times). Croatian with English subtitles.  103 minutes.
