Review of Marsal

Marsal was something spectacular and very brave. This is the best movie that modern Croatia produced, in my humble opinion. We have everything that was troubling Croats then and that is troubling Croatians today. A small Dalmatian place, which got really hurt in transition and privatisation. Local communist, now a proud nationalist bought everything. And nothing is working. Life is quite dead. Like on a stereotype island. Until Tito's ghost comes. At least it seems so. Well, for local elderly communists, this a chance to get communism back, so they round up old comrades, and old geezers are only ready for hospital, not for a new revolution. But for mentioned local tycoon, ex-communist, now proud capitalist, this is a chance to open theme park Titoland /like Disneyland/ and he is ready to import ghost of Honecker for Germans, ghost of Mao Zedong for Chinese, you name it, we've got it. For the rest of the movie, try to get it. It's really worth it. And something for future viewers. Franjo Tudjman was the head of historical institute.
