The two Marxes, Karl and Groucho, are the main sources of inspiration for this film, where the private world of the family and the national revolution of 1945 collide. Cengic‘s dissection of Yugoslav socialism was censored by the authorities and he worked little over the following decade. In its given historical context, one of the most subversive stills in this book. Only in Yugoslavia -- and only for a limited period -- could it have been possible to show (and then to eat) a Stalin-cake with a candle growing out of his head. From a bizarre political film farce that expressed the ideological disillusionment of a new generation. ---- Amos Vogel “Film as asubversive art”
