Doctor Homer's Brother (Serbo-Croatian: Brat doktora Homera, Serbian Cyrillic: Брат доктора Хомера) is a 1968 Yugoslav feature film written and directed by Živorad "Žika" Mitrović.[1]

The film, which resembles some of Mitrović's earlier partisan films, was strongly influenced by Hollywood westerns, as well as the then-popular Yugoslav Black Wave, as evident in its depiction of corrupt government officials in postwar Yugoslavia. The film's title song is performed by Arsen Dedić.[2]

Plot

[edit]

The films takes place in 1945 in Kosovo, a few months after the end of the Second World War, the consequences of which are still evident in general poverty, typhus epidemics, but also the activities of the remnants of defeated Ballists who are hiding in the mountains. The protagonist Simon Petrović is a young man who returns to his hometown after spending four years in a German prison camp and is faced with the fact that his fiancée Vera has left him and married his brother Homer. Simon is even more affected by the fact that his father, a respected judge, was killed in suspicious circumstances, and although the culprit was found and caught for the crime, he decides to reveal the truth and finally take revenge on the perpetrators.[3]
