The Marathon Family
dir. Slobodan Šijan
YU, 1982., 92’
One of the most watched films in the Yugoslav region, the black comedy classic follows the eccentric Topalović family of five generations of men who run a funeral home. It is a story about the oldest Balkan family, so old that not even death can touch it. Boasting a fantastic cast (Bogdan Diklić, Danilo Bata Stojković, Pavle Vuisić) won several awards at the Pula Film Festival, including the Golden Arena.
