Tito on Ice

About This Movie

Tito on Ice is quite a curious piece, really. It’s a documentary that plays with the absurd, following Swedish comics creators Max Andersson and Lars Sjunnesson as they drag around a mummified Marshal Tito in a refrigerator, touring the remnants of former Yugoslavia. The tone is both quirky and a touch melancholic, reflecting on the post-Yugoslav landscape while blending art and history. The pacing is relaxed, allowing for spontaneous encounters with a range of artists and musicians, all of whom contribute to this strange tapestry of modern life in a fractured region. The practical effects of the mummified Tito add a bizarre but intriguing visual element, and the personalities they meet bring a warmth to the otherwise cold themes of nostalgia and loss.
