But not all visitors come for the culture. Some seek the trashier pleasures of rowdy bars and cheap drinks, and all they know of the area\u2019s history is that the spectacular medieval fortress clinging to a nearby cliffside was a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a> of Thrones\u201d location.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Split is also where US filmmaker Travis Wilkerson (\u201cDid You Wonder Who Fired the Gun?\u201d) recently lived for a stretch, having resolved \u2014 and then failing \u2014 to make a movie about the dissolution of Yugoslavia. This he tells us on camera, at the beginning of \u201cThrough the Graves the Wind is Blowing,\u201d the film he made instead of that one, and it\u2019s an admission of compromise that somehow never compromises the integrity of what follows: a witty, dismayed, eccentric and fascinating outsider\u2019s-eye tribute to a deeply split Split.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Wilkerson starts by introducing local homicide detective Ivan Peric, a character who could have walked straight out of a deconstructed neo-noir: a hangdog Sam Spade as written by Paul Auster channeling Franz Kafka. Peric, who only joined the force to avoid working in tourism, is on the political outs with his bosses and finds himself somewhat \u201cworking in tourism anyway,\u201d when he\u2019s assigned to several cases no one else wants, namely the murders of several holidaymakers in the area. It\u2019s a sensationalist slant that Wilkerson is quick to puncture: this movie is not some true-crime serial-killer expos\u00e9. In fact, the rather absurd deaths, five of which are recounted in Peric\u2019s lugubrious police-jotter manner on the spots where they occurred, are unconnected. Except that each is further evidence of the intense dislike the locals have for the shrieking, vomiting, urinating hordes that treat their town with such disrespect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Peric faces insurmountable apathy and possibly actual obstruction in investigating his rapidly cooling cases. The spear (probably a \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d replica) used in one murder dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears. The authorities will not allow him access to another crime scene because it\u2019s a local attraction at which the victim was allegedly killed for taking too many selfies, and they can\u2019t afford to shut it down during high season. But even while he\u2019s discussing the killings, the film\u2019s other main character starts vying for our attention: Split itself is crowding in from the edge of Wilkerson\u2019s gorgeously high-contrast black-and-white frames. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    This is not the Split of any tourist brochure. Wilkerson\u2019s camera is trained on the suburbs, the derelict malls, the abandoned motels, the once-futuristic plazas grown scrubby with weeds and angry with graffiti. Over striking dystopian cityscapes, often mirrored in the perfectly silver standing water of a permanent puddle or two, Wilkerson narrates his idiosyncratic 20th century history of Split. He makes particular reference to the shameful relationship to fascism. Croatia as an independent state first existed under the Usta\u0161e, the local fascist party installed as a puppet regime in 1941 by the Nazis, and so the story of Croatian nationalism is inextricably entwined with its far-right past. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It\u2019s an association Wilkerson finds written across the city today in horribly prevalent swastika and Usta\u0161e-symbol graffiti, deeply knitted into the local football scene and given its most awful expression further inland at the Jasenovac concentration camp, which had the grim distinction of being the largest such European extermination factory not to have been built by the Germans. And yet the town has another history too, of resistance and resilience and heroic acts of self-sacrifice which Wilkerson also relates in his low, frank, warm narration. Most satisfyingly, for a film titled after a line in the Leonard Cohen song \u201cPartisan,\u201d he tells the story of Rade Koncar, the WWII partisan whose statue, in 2018, fell onto the drunken neo-fascist who was trying to deface it. \u201cRade Koncar,\u201d says Wilkerson with something like joy, \u201cStill fucking up fascists 70 years after they killed him.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The irreverent, intimate voiceover is one way he saps the potential pretension or self-seriousness out of this dynamically entertaining film, but he also achieves a lovely conspiracy with the viewer by showing his work, its rough edges, its errata and false starts. It is ironic and a little subversive that the punchy imagery \u2014 hyperreal photography, text on screen, blood-spatter overlays, CCTV footage \u2014 should be so agitprop in its aesthetic. Wilkerson has the very opposite of propaganda\u2019s agenda, questioning dogmas and doubting certainties and making \u201cThrough the Graves the Wind is Blowing\u201d a beautifully monochromatic meditation on how nothing is actually black and white. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
