Wikipedia article
'Looking Into the Eyes of the Sun' ('Pogled u zjenicu sunca') is a 1966 Yugoslav film directed by Veljko Bulaji and starring Bata ivojinovi, Antun Nalis, Faruk Begolli, Mladen Ladika, and Milena Dravi.
Plot
In a snowstorm, four Partisans get separated from their unit. Three of them are suffering from typhoid fever, and the only healthy man among them is trying to return them to safety...
Production
'Looking Into the Eyes of the Sun' was shot in just 31 working days. Although Bulaji's name was usually associated with high-budget productions, he gave 'Looking Into the Eyes of the Sun' and 'The Man to Destroy' as counterexamples, describing them as "the two cheapest films in the history of Jadran Film".
Reception
'Looking Into the Eyes of the Sun' was shown in the out of competition section of the 1966 Cannes Film Festival. The Croatian Film Association's database describes it as one of the most peculiar Bulaji's films which, instead of epic sweep, opts for a visually expressive, naturalist drama of a handful of isolated individuals.
