Is it for you?

The mood: Eye-opening.
The pace: Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off: It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

This eye-opening and bittersweet chronicle of the Yugoslavian film industry recounts how the cinema was used—often with direct intervention from President Josip Broz Tito—to create and recreate the young nation’s history, replete with heroes and myths that didn’t always hew closely to reality.
