What a Day!

About This Movie

What a Day! is a quirky little gem from 1979 that dives into the domestic life of Zoran, a clerk with bigger aspirations. The film strikes a balance between humor and the everyday struggles of a family man, all while capturing the essence of late 70s Yugoslavian TV cinema. The pacing is leisurely, allowing you to get to know Zoran, his wife Ana, and their son, as they navigate the bureaucratic hurdles that keep Zoran from his dream symposium in Dubrovnik. The performances are subtly charming, with a mix of warmth and frustration that feels relatable. It's not flashy, but there's a certain authenticity in its portrayal of ordinary life that makes it stand out.

What a Day! has had limited releases, primarily circulating in TV movie formats, which adds to its charm and scarcity. Collectors often seek out rare broadcasts or VHS copies, as it’s not widely available in modern formats. Its distinct cultural perspective offers something unique in the comedy genre, especially for those interested in Yugoslavian cinema. Overall, it holds a niche but dedicated following among enthusiasts who appreciate its simple yet engaging storytelling.
