DOBRO JUTRO

The experimental and associative films of Ante Babaja, one of the grand masters of Croatian cinema, have decisively shaped his country’s filmmaking history. In GOOD MORNING we see Babaja himself on the screen: an 80-year-old resident in an old people’s home. The director’s self-observation delivers something between a filmic legacy – he inserts footage from his earlier films – and a document of our times. By turns a thoughtful study of life in a home and, with quietly humorous undertones, a solemn depiction of growing old, of the transience of life, of faith.
