Monday or Tuesday

About This Movie

So, 'Monday or Tuesday' is this quiet, reflective piece that really dives into the mind of a divorced journalist named Marko Požgaj. It’s not just about his daily grind of taking his son to school; it’s like a stream of consciousness as he meanders through his memories - a blend of nostalgia, regret, and fleeting moments of joy. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, which works well with the somber themes of loss and familial dynamics. The performances, especially in the way Marko grapples with his past, feel authentic. It’s gritty, yet there’s a tenderness that lingers, making it stand out from other dramas of its time.

This film is a bit of a rarity on the collector's market. It has seen limited format releases, which adds to its appeal for those interested in lesser-known works from the '60s. Original prints are tough to come by, and the lack of a well-known director seems to heighten its mystique. Collectors appreciate the film for its introspective storytelling and its ability to evoke genuine emotion through subtle performances.
