The first Croatian film to be banned as anti-socialist is a charming and picturesque musical comedy directed by Branko Marjanović and written by Joža Horvat. It was first screened a quarter of a century after its creation, but it didn’t get regular screenings until the fall of the regime in 1989. This satire follows a Communist Party functionary who arrives in a provincial town in order to reform its cultural life, which he considers inadequate, and he dispenses with its five musical societies. The film mocks both blind bureaucracy and small-town mentality, siding only with the youth as the only hope for the future.
