Sažetak
The paper demonstrates the prominence of network narratives (films with several autonomous storylines, globally popular since the mid-1990s) in post-Yugoslav, particularly Croatian cinema (with examples such as Metastases (2009), The Reaper (2014), You Carry Me (2015), The Constitution (2016), The Trampoline (2017), etc.) Films like The Living and the Dead (2007) or Death in Sarajevo (2016), with parallel stories typically set in World War II and the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, have been said to suggest a circular, synchronic vision of history, a “transhistorical dance macabre” as a leitmotif of Balkan cinema. The films Witnesses (2003) and The High Sun (2015), together with a group of multi- narrative plays i.e. The Last Link (1994), 3 Winters (2014) and Men of Wax (2016), are analysed as vehicles of counter-memory to self- Balkanizing representations.
