Love Affair, or the Case of the Missing Switchboard Operator [Ljubavni Slucaj ili tragedija sluzbenice P.T.T.]

Du an Makavejev (director, screenwriter)
Branko Vu i evi (screenwriter)
Eva Ras, Slobodan Aligrudi (starring)

N.p. N.p., Circa 1967. Three vintage reference photographs from the 1967 Yugoslav film, all three showing actress Eva Ras. One with a printed mimeo snipe affixed to the verso, and all three with the stamps of photographer Michel Ciment.

A young switchboard operator begins a relationship with a serious beau, but finds herself subject to a colleague's advances when her boyfriend is out of town on business. Told in non-chronological order, with imaginative digressions and frequent interruptions, creating a critique of communist society and censorship. The second feature film of Du an Makavejev, the most celebrated Yugoslavian director of the 1960s.

10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.

Criterion Eclipse 18. Rosenbaum 1000. Vogel, Film as a Subversive Art.
