Commentary:
This is an aggressively ideological film without any serious character development or exploration of protagonists’ relationships with each other. Akcija Stadion be a negligible film were it not for its impressive visual style. Dušan Vukotić and the director of photography, Ivica Rajković, paid special attention to the composition of each and every shot, creating a film of outstanding visual cultivation and consistency.
