Cinema Komunisto (2010)

Cinema Komunisto plot

Leka Konstantinovic was the house operator of Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito for 32 years. Together with Yugoslav directors, film stars and studio bosses, Konstantinovic tells how Marshal Tito was able to shape the post-war federal state of Yugoslavia while simultaneously building a productive film industry. Because filmmakers were paid out of the state coffers, "no problem" was the standard answer when a director needed something expensive again. Some recruits completed full military service as extras, and a real bridge was even blown up for an Oscar-nominated movie. Tito followed the recordings closely and watched one film every day in his private cinema. After his break with the Soviet Union, he invited Hollywood stars to his country, and Richard Burton, Orson Welles and Sophia Loren were persuaded to participate in large-scale productions, often about the heroic struggle of Tito and his partisans against the Nazis. After Tito's death, the Yugoslav film industry finally collapsed.
