Yugo CultTV Show

The first episode of the Yugo Kult series is dedicated to the film Sveto mesto (1990), one of the most significant horror films of Yugoslav cinematography. The dark, erotic and unique vision of Đorđe Kadijević is a free adaptation of Gogol's short story "Vij", in a combination of Slavic folklore and Gothic. The story of the fear and lust of an Orthodox theologian, forced to pray for three nights over the (un)dead girl Katarina, with motives of incest, feudal violence and devastating hatred, was never fully accepted by the general public. Our guest is the actress Branka Pujić, who portrayed Katarina Županski in the film, one of the most impressive female characters in domestic genre films.
