Although I cannot tell precisely how many times I have seen this film (it must be over 30 times for sure!), its freshness amazes me over and over again. `Tko pjeva.' tells the story of a middle-class family whose everyday routine is disturbed by a love triangle. Set in the mid-thirties Zagreb, the film avoids political and social connotations (which are so common in Croatian cinematography), and creates a feel-good atmosphere through intelligent humor, well-chosen soundtrack and excellent acting.
Relja Basic and late Franjo Majetic gave performances that defined their profile for years to come. The soundtrack consists of popular songs, which are successfully incorporated into the script and well balanced with the scenes filled with funny situations and humor of character.
This film was voted the best Croatian film on several occasions and, although I don't like to order and classify films, I have to agree that `Tko pjeva.' stands out as a superb cinematographic achievement, even 30 years after its original release.
