The Wheel - Yugoslavia 1981

16mm Film - The Wheel - Yugoslavia 1981

Script and Direction: Žarko Dragojević

Camera: Milija Životić

An old man who is blind is shown at work as a wheelwright. The silent observation forces the viewer to respect his achievement. The wreath-shaped prayer cord he uses as a Muslim and the vehicle from his workshop in which he drives across the river seem to be symbolic statements.
