ABOUT THE MOVIE
"Monologue about Pula" is a short documentary-experimental film inspired by the cult film "Monologue about Split" directed by Ivan Martinac. The film lasts the same as "Monologue about Split", exactly 7 minutes and 21 seconds, uses the same music - Ravel's "Bolero" and the same ratio and length of individual sequences, and is edited entirely from film material from the archives of the Jelen Cinema Club. ''Monologue about Split'' examines the relationship between life and death, eternal and transient, but ''Monologue about Pula'' touches also on sociological, political, metafilm and other elements in the context of recent Pula history.
