A Little Inscription of Marko Uvodic from Split

About This Movie

A Little Inscription of Marko Uvodic from Split is a quirky slice of Croatian television from the late '90s. Set against the backdrop of Christmas morning 1900, the film blends comedy with courtroom drama in a way that feels both light and layered. The pacing has a rhythmic quality that mirrors the chaos of the characters, especially the judge whose plans are hilariously thwarted by legal antics. Themes of justice and absurdity mingle as Šjora File’s predicament unfolds—her husband’s alleged murder spins into farce thanks to a crafty lawyer. There's a certain charm in its practical effects and performances that capture the local flavor. While the director remains unknown, the film possesses a unique warmth and an interesting commentary on societal norms of the time.
