DEER HUNT

Fadil Hadžić

Filmski autorski studio (FAS), 1972

After many years, Ivan Šušnjar is returning to his hometown, from which he fled after World War II fearful that, as civil clerk of the NDH, he might suffer prosecution from the new government. Upon his return he discovers that he was tagged Ustasha only so that local partisans could appropriate his property. Trying to prove the truth and get justice, Šušnjar faces closely linked opponents who are prepared to do whatever it takes to get him out of the way…
Politically one of the bravest films of socialist Croatia cinematography, Deer Hunt dared to deal with one of the greatest taboos of socialist Yugoslavia: the problem of (Croatian) political emigrants whose various beliefs official Yugoslav policy tucked under the same extremist hat, in Croatian case, the hat was Ustasha movement. Featuring excellent location (urban province) and ambience (stale Balkan pub), with skillfully profiled characters and narrative, expressive acting roles and steady direction, Deer Hunt presents one of the peak moments of Fadil Hadzic's opus, and is an unavoidable title in Croatian cinema.
