The Elderly Parasite or Who is Marko Brecelj?

Priletni parazit ali kdo je Marko Brecelj?

Directing: Janez Burger

Synopsis

Janez Burger and the crew filmed Marko Brecelj during workdays towards the end of 2012, and it took the director and the Czech editor virtuoso Miloš Kalusek three months to assemble their work. The filmmakers had a vast quantity of archive shots made by the Association of the Friends of Moderate Progress at their disposal, and the statements by the prominent members of the Slovenian or post-Yugoslav cultural and popular scene provided icing on the cake. The film takes the general public opinion and expectations into account rather than the self image and life choices of the person it portrays. However, it is undoubtedly a credible, witty and almost "humanised" presentation of a difficult man who has frequently managed to divide the public with his "soft terrorism" in the last decades, also outside the borders of our state self sufficiency.
