About On the Day of Fire
The protagonist, interpreted by Ljuba Tadic, is a scientist in an institute who becomes a victim of the intrigues of his co-workers who took advantage of his once problematic participation in the Chetnik movement during the Second World War.
Directed by Arsenije Jovanović, On the Day of Fire leans on a strong ensemble — Ljuba Tadić, Olivera Marković, Vlastimir 'Đuza' Stojiljković — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1969.
