Abstract
The paper is dedicated to the new Yugoslav film dubbed the "Black Wave" by the communist authorities in the SFRY, due to its critical relationship established by the directors towards the ideology and dominant system values. The new film trend, taking after the French New Wave and Italian Neorealism, introduced a modern aesthetic paradigm to Yugoslav cinema, completely different from the classical, conventional cinematic expression. Black Wave films are known in sociological discourse for their critique of the governing socialist regime, for their subversiveness, polemic and political speech. The paper analyzes representative works that show, on the one hand, the contemporary society and its anomalies, and on the other, a new perspective on the national liberation war and socialist revolution. In both cases, the attributes that are concerned with the individualistic, anti-traditional, modern cinematic form and ideological viewpoints, significantly different from the ones advocated by the authorities, are emphasized. The paper draws particular attention to the humanistic and socio-emancipatory component of the Yugoslav New Wave cinematic works.
