One More for the Road recounts the life and career of Croatian filmmaker Rajko Grlic in the form of a lexicon of film terms, tying cinematic terms to anecdotes spanning Grlic' s life, from his post-Nazi-era childhood in Yugoslavia to his college years during the 1968 invasion of Prague, the Yugoslav dissolution wars, and his subsequent exile in the United States. With a scholarly introduction by Aida Vidan, these personal stories combine to provide insight into the socialist film industries, contextualizing south Slavic film while also highlighting its contacts with Western filmmakers and the film industry.
"I read a lot this year. Old, new, borrowed, blue. This was the best. The paradox of reading something so avidly that you can' t put it down and then then I got to the last 20 pages slowing down to a snail' s pace and reading so slowly so that it wouldn' t be over so quickly. "* Mike Downey, European Film Academy"This unique and engaging book is both a non-chronological memoir and an idiosyncratic cinematic history textbook of sorts, one that informs the reader about the director' s own life, work and creative processes, but also about the broader context of cinema' s untold, hidden history through entertaining vignettes and little known (yet important) facts. "* Dijana Jelaca, Brooklyn College. "Anyone interested in the artists' real and imaginative lives, in European and global cinema and history, or simply in the plethora of inspiring lives and stories-the knowledge of which makes one humbled and grateful-will find this a most fulfilling, joyful read. "* Gordana P. Crnkovic, University of Washington
