“…According to Lóránd, sexual liberalisation in Yugoslavia in the 1960s and the following two decades occurred within the limits set by the patriarchal culture, which were respected by both the communist state apparatus and the three dominant churches (Catholic, Orthodox and Muslim) in opposition to it. According to Lóránd, it was the Black Wave artists (among them especially Makavejev) who were the first to publicly address the topic of sexual revolution, going beyond the mentioned boundaries (Ečim & Lóránd, 2020;Lóránd, 2015Lóránd, , pp. 121, 123, 124, 2018.…”

Violence and Sex and Violence again: The Sexual Revolution in the Films of the Yugoslav Black WaveThe sexual revolution, regarded as one of the main hallmarks of the 1968 revolution, left a distinct mark in four Serbian films of the Yugoslav Black Wave: Early Works (Rani radovi, 1969) by Želimir Žilnik, Plastic Jesus (Plastični Isus, 1971) by Lazar Stojanović, W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism (WR – misterije organizma, 1971) by Dušan Makavejev and Young and Healthy As a Rose (Mlad i zdrav kao ruža, 1971) by Jovan Jovanović. These films tackle the issue of the relationship between violence and sexuality, which was crucial for the course of the revolution. Sexual freedom was recognised by the revolutionaries of 1968 as a fundamental manifestation of the individual freedom for which they fought, resisting the violence resulting from the current political and cultural tradition. The directors of these films ironically illustrate how the implementation of the revolutionary demand that sex replace violence as a force shaping social life leads to a paradoxical effect: the revelation of sexuality’s organic entanglement in violence, rooted in human nature.Przemoc i seks, i znów przemoc. Rewolucja seksualna w filmach jugosłowiańskiej czarnej faliRewolucja seksualna, traktowana jako jeden z głównych wyróżników rewolucji ’68, zostawiła wyraźny ślad w czterech serbskich filmach należących do jugosłowiańskiej czarnej fali. Młode lata (Rani radovi, 1969) Želimira Žilnika, Plastikowy Jezus (Plastični Isus, 1971) Lazara Stojanovcia, WR – tajemnice organizmu (WR – misterije organizma, 1971) Dušana Makavejeva oraz Młody i zdrowy jak róża (Mlad i zdrav kao ruža, 1971) Jovana Jovanovicia podejmują kluczowy dla przebiegu tej rewolucji problem relacji między przemocą a seksualnością. Wolność seksualną rewolucjoniści roku 1968 uznawali za podstawowy przejaw wolności indywidualnej, o którą walczyli, stawiając opór przemocy wypływającej z aktualnej polityki i tradycji kulturowej. Reżyserzy wymienionych filmów ironicznie obrazują, jak realizacja rewolucyjnego postulatu, by seks zastąpił przemoc w roli siły kształtującej życie społeczne, prowadzi do efektu paradoksalnego – do ujawnienia się organicznego, zakorzenionego w ludzkiej naturze, uwikłania seksualności w przemoc.
