MOUNT OF LAMENT

Original Polish 22 3/4 inch x 32 1/2 inch Poster for the 1968 Zdravko Velimirovic Yugoslavian War Drama MOUNT OF LAMENT (LELEJSKA GORA), based on the novel by Mihailo Lalic and starring Slobodan Dimitrijevic, Milivoje Zivanovic, Anka Zupanc, Stole Arandjelovic and Istref Begolli.

Lado Tajovic, a student, is charged by the communist party to go to his home in the Montenegrin Mountains, to illegally spread the liberation movement’s propaganda. Alone, surrounded by enemies, always awake and ready to evade traps and ambushes, Lado fights on the verge of sleep, against people which are cowards ready to betrayal. He fights his own temptations, hallucinations that constantly besiege him. Although he perseveres in holding to party directives: no killing and no revenge, Lado at one moment of weakness falls to a primal human act vengeance.
