Wikipedia article




'Charuga' ('aruga') is a 1991 Yugoslav film directed by Rajko Grli. Based on the novel by Ivan Kuan, it tells a true story about legendary Slavonian bandit Jovo Stanisavljevi aruga.

During its premiere, 'Charuga' was described as "the last Yugoslav film", because its theatrical run coincided with the process of the Yugoslav break-up and escalation of conflict into the Croatian War of Independence.

Others saw film as an allegoric portrayal of the rise and fall of Communism, because the film's protagonist (played by Ivo Gregurevi) used Communism as a pretext to get rich and enjoy luxurious lifestyle.
