Abstract

The aim of this study is to reveal how women are represented in the Yugoslav New Film and Black Wave films. I argue that they show a recurring pattern of rape. I interpret a raped woman in Yugoslav films as an allegory of a raped nation. To investigate this motif, I have selected three fiction films, all addressing a short pro-Stalinist phase of Yugoslav history: Lisice/Handcuffs (Krsto Papić 1969), Uloga moje porodice u svjetskoj revoluciji/The Role of my Family in the World Revolution (Bahrudin Bato Čengić, 1971), and Doručak sa đavolom/Breakfast with the Devil (Miroslav Mika Antić, 1971). In my investigation I will draw on feminist film scholarship as the conceptual framework. Furthermore, I use close reading as the method to explore the movement's oeuvre. |
