Review of Innocence Unprotected (1968) by Aaron W — 08 Nov 2009

One of the stranger documentaries ever made. It's a curious amalgam of clips from Yugoslavia's first talkie, present day interviews with the cast, high flying feats of daring, World War II footage, and poetry among other things; with each medium evoking another in what becomes a continuous stream of almost experimental imagery.

It may not be one of the director's best works, but it certainly is a fascinating look at a culture pulled off with Makavejev's signature streak of comedy and eccentricity.
