Brilliant naturalistic touch, 7 February 2003

Author: damirradic14 from Zagreb, Croatia

Kad budem mrtav i beo is one of the best movies made by great Serbian/Yugoslav director Zivojin Pavlovic, one of the best European directors in second half of the 1960s. His mighty naturalistic approach in films like Povratak, Neprijatelj, Budjenje pacova and Zaseda here achieves a peak through episodic, picaresque story of young would to be singer Dzimi Barka, anarchic individual without specific goal, except not to work (and likes to have sex with any woman whom meet on his ramblings, if she's barely attractive). Film also contains irony approach to Yugoslav partisan mythology, JNA (Yugoslav National Army), work class - all the holy objects, untouchable sacred things of Yugoslav socialistic society. Artisticly and politicly very brave movie, Kad budem mrtav i beo is terrific blend of comedy, drama and, finally, absurd tragedy.

New wave in Yugoslav style, 8 June 2007

Author: zhiva_b from Slovenia

New wave in Yugoslav style, one of the best YU movies ever made. Dzimi Barka is a handsome but quite untalented wannabe singer who is unemployed and wants to survive without working anything in times of economical crisis with stealing and cheating. He travels around Serbia, looks for success and meets women who are for him just objects to use for a certain purpose - sex, money or maybe career - and then to dispose. He does so until the sorry undignified end at the same place where he wanted to escape from. This is a movie about unperspective life of the working class in mud and greyness, between factories and villages .

The story about Dzimi Barka, 22 July 2001

Author: Edin (cenga50) from Gorazde,Bosnia

Zika Pavlovic was,probably, first ex-Yugoslavian director who didn't make a stupid movies about Tito's partisans and their fight against Nazis.His movies was about a modern life in ex-Yugoslavia and problems of "our fellow Yugoslavians". "Kad budem mrtav i beo" ("When I die",on English) is a story about Dzimi ( it reads: "Jimmy")Barka,young, handsome,charismatic,but pretty unsuccessful singer from a small town in central Serbia.Dzimi wants to go in Belgrade and become a famous star of pop music,but...this story has a tragic end,like every Balcan story,anyway. Role of Dzimi Barka was a first big job for Dragan Nikolic,one of the best ex-Yugoslavian actors.This role became some kind of his trade mark. Pavlovic was a genious artist and just a few ex-Yugoslavian directors can make such a good story about people from yugoslavian province. This movie is a masterpiece of ex-Yugoslavian film making!
