Monday or Tuesday (film)

Monday or Tuesday SerboCroatian Ponedjeljak ili utorak is a 1966 Yugoslav drama film directed by Vatroslav Mimica starring Slobodan Dimitrijevi. The films title is a famous quote from Virginia Woolfs 1919 work Modern Fiction and the title of her 1921 short story collection in which she described her approach to writing

The film follows a day in the life of a divorced Zagreb journalist Marko Pogaj played by Dimitrijevi, an average modern intellectual who goes about his daily business. Mundane scenes of Pogajs day are shown interspersed with flashbacks and fantastic imagery reflecting his inner life. These include his recollections of childhood, his feelings about the present and past, including memories of his first marriage, his current girlfriend Rajka Jagoda Kaloper and his father killed in World War II Pavle Vuisi, as well as his fantasies and hopes about the future.The film is today regarded as a logical continuation in Mimicas body of work as it replicates the stream of consciousness concept previously seen in his critically acclaimed 1964 film Prometheus of the Island. The films visual structure based on a collage of scenes set in the past and present mixed with fantastic imagery, which are indicated by changes in picture quality and colour and the theme of contemporary social alienation in part resulting from the trauma of War World II have urged critics to draw comparisons to his animated film The Inspector Is Back Inspektor se vratio kui, 1957 and have been called trademarks of Mimicas entire body of work. ........
