About A Bloody Tale
Memory of the victims of the Kragujevac massacre is described through the events that are related to a group of boys, shoe shiners. At that time, thousands of workers refused to work for the invaders, and the whole city was exposed to harsh repression and persecution of innocent citizens and the abolition of the regular rations of food.
Directed by Branimir 'Tori' Janković, A Bloody Tale leans on a strong ensemble — Zorica Miladinović, Mira Stupica, Milosav 'Mija' Aleksić — 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 war titles of 1969.
