YOUNG AND HEALTHY AS A ROSE - Jovan Jovanović - Yugoslavia - 1971 A key film of the "Yugoslav Black Wave" - and Jovanović's first narrative feature - wherein a cocky, womanizing street tough effortlessly ascends to the top of Belgrade's criminal class by way of indiscriminate violence and unwavering self-assuredness. I'm not sure that it's a "good" film, per-se, but it's certainly a grim prediction of the social climate of post-Balkanized Eastern Europe. ............................ #youngandhealthyasarose #mladizdravkaoruza #mladizdravkaoruža #jovanjovanović #jovanjovanovic #dragannikolić #dragannikolic #yugoslavia #yugoslavianfilm #serbia #serbianfilm #belgrade #beograd #balkancinema #balkans #easterneuropeanfilm #easterneuropeancinema #yugoslavblackwave
