Молодой и здоровый, как роза, Young and healthy like a rose, Млад и здрав као ружа, Mlad i zdrav kao ruža Yugoslavia 1971
Yugoslav black wave, proto punk movie, crime film, juvenile delinquency, mass murderers, absurdist fiction, Jovan Jovanovic. A director with a very distinctive style, Jovan Jovanovic has filmed in 1971 one of the most significant works in the history of contemporary Serbian film. Young and Healthy Like a Rose is a strong visionary achievement that still looks topical today as back in the times when it was filmed and banned by the then communist censorship. A story about a young delinquent, who evolves from typical outsider to mafia boss of Belgrade seemed shocking back then; today, it is the cruel reality of our times. With incredible foresight of things to come, Jovanovic s leading character says: I am your future. More poetical than Hollywood movies, much more realistic than Trainspotting. An exciting story about crime, drugs and the deadly grip of the secret police in Serbia.
