Croatia n film directed byRajko Grlić . Based on the novel byIvan Kušan , it tells a true story about legendary Slavonian banditJovo Stanisavljević Čaruga .During its premiere, "Čaruga" was described as "the last Yugoslav film", because its theatrical run coincided with Yugoslav break-up and escalation of conflict into the
Yugoslav wars . Many believed at the time that it was the last time actors and filmmakers from various republics of former Yugoslavia would ever work together on a film.Others saw film as an allegoric portrayal of Tito and his era, because film's protagonist (played by
Ivo Gregurević ) usedCommunism as a pretext to get rich and enjoy luxurious lifestyle.External links
