Occupation in 26 Pictures, also known as Occupation in 26 Tableaux (Croatian: Okupacija u 26 slika), is a 1978 Yugoslavian war film directed by Lordan Zafranović. It was entered into the 1979 Cannes Film Festival.^[1] The film was selected as the Yugoslav entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 51st Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.^[2]

Plot

It shows three friends just before World War II in Dubrovnik - Miho (a Jew), Niko (a Croat) and Toni (an Italian) - who during the war undergo different fates. Toni joins the Ustaše. Miho's family becomes a target of prosecution. Niko's sister marries Toni in despite of her family's wishes. Niko after all joins the partisans.

Controversies

The film was controversial due to many things. In the communist Yugoslavia it was scandalous because of too many sexually explicit and violent scenes.^[3] Naturalistic portrayal of the widespread Ustaše atrocities made this film despised in the independent Croatia as an instance of anti-Croat sentiment.^[3]
