The one for connoisseurs.

The film is based on an old Serbian epic song. It is one of not too many Yugoslav films with medieval 14 century theme, so only for that, for me, it would be worth a look.

Dragan Nikolic is brilliant as Vlah Alija, with no other than Franco Nero as Banovic Strahinja. Rade Serbedzija is exceptional as a crazy dervish and the scene where he is being impaled by the Turks is more than powerful.

A minor curiosity in this day and age is that the film with such a typical Serbian folk story was directed by a Croat.

Probably best film made with Serbian midevil theme. What is interesting, it's actually Croatian movie, produced by Jadran film, with Croatian crue, filmed in Croatia (Karlovac). Serbs although much more versatile and successful in film production, never achieved this level of quality in displaying their own history, same stands for Croatians regarding Croatian history displays.

A person said that this movie is ''croatian film of Serbian mythology''.

Well, at the time the movie was made, we all lived in one country - Yugoslavia, so this movie WASN'T filmed in croatia, but in YUGOSLAVIA. Big difference.

People from other parts of Europe and world should see the monstrosities that the Turks did to 'non-Turks' and never forget them. The Serbs surely won't forgive and forget!
