Innocence Unprotected

Innocence Unprotected (Serbo-Croatian: Nevinost bez zaštite, Serbian Cyrillic: Невиност без заштите) is a compilation film by Yugoslav director Dušan Makavejev.

[2] Nevinost bez zaštite was made by the Yugoslav gymnast Dragoljub Aleksić, who wrote, produced, directed, and starred in the film.

[2] Nevinost bez zaštite was never released due to Nazi censorship, while later during the Yugoslav communist period some ironically accused and condemned it as being pro-Nazi.

For this, rarer than most things on film, I value Makavejev's extraordinary insights into ordinary affairs and his gentle juggling act with Acrobat Aleksic.

In 1985, Don Druker of The Chicago Reader wrote that the film is a "funny and genuinely endearing tribute to an innocent folk hero—bizarre in spots, and definitely Makavejev".
