Released in 1982, at the height of Tito’s Yugoslavia, Maratonci was a stealth bomb. On the surface, it is a period comedy set in the 1930s, avoiding direct critique of socialist Yugoslavia. But audiences immediately understood the allegory. The Topalović family is Yugoslavia writ small: a dysfunctional federation of squabbling “brothers” (Serbs, Croats, Bosniaks, etc.) ruled by an aging, immovable patriarch (Tito) who refuses to die, while corrupt bureaucrats (the sons) run everything into the ground. maratonci trce pocasni krug ceo film
