Monday or Tuesday (Serbo-Croatian: Ponedjeljak ili utorak) is a 1966 Yugoslav drama film directed by Vatroslav Mimica starring Slobodan Dimitrijević.
The film follows a day in the life of a divorced Zagreb journalist Marko Požgaj (played by Dimitrijević), an average modern intellectual who goes about his daily business.
[2] The film's visual structure (based on a collage of scenes set in the past and present mixed with fantastic imagery, which are indicated by changes in picture quality and colour) and the theme of contemporary social alienation (in part resulting from the trauma of World War II) have urged critics to draw comparisons to his animated film The Inspector Is Back!
But the film still exudes the appeal of what the New Wave must have looked like when it first emerged as a trend, with its concentration on ordinary people and charmingly observed street scenes.
In addition, Tomislav Pinter won his third Best Cinematography award for his work on both Monday or Tuesday and Rondo (directed by Zvonimir Berković).
