VIFF 2013 review: Tito On Ice

(Sweden/Germany/Bosnia)

    1 of 2 2 of 2

      Like Francisco Franco, Marshal Tito is still thoroughly dead. But that doesn’t stop a pair of cheeky Swedes—authors of a graphic novel called Bosnian Flat Dog—from taking a papier-mâché dummy of old Josip Broz, still in bemedalled uniform, on a highly illustrated and heavily digressive road trip through ex-Yugoslavia. They look at how attitudes have changed, especially among the young and creative, who barely remember the old order, or even the recent wars. (Happily, none thinks the film is about an erstwhile Jackson brother.) Messy but fun.
