| description | The poor peasant Petar outdoes with his wits the people’s enemies – the wealthy landowner, who insults with his overbearing behaviour, the clergy and the monks that hypocritically preach moderation, the money-lender, who drains his workers out of their labour. All of them cooperate with the Turkish oppressors. Sly Petar tricks them and gives to the poor. The female oppression is also actualized with the marriage of the landowner’s daughter to the physically and ethically disgusting money-lender. The costumes are ethnographically precise and together with the orchestrated folklore render almost museum-like representation of peasant life. |
