Life and death of Marin Drzic, renaissance writer of Dubrovnik (Croatia), who wrote comedy-plays 60 years before Shakespeare, 8 February 2008

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This movie tells a story of Marin Drzic, a 16th century poet from Dubrovnik, Croatia. He wrote comedy-plays 60 years before Shakespeare and was persecuted for his ahead-of-his-time thinking.

The story took place in 16th century, renaissance Dubrovnik, and in Florence and Venice, Italy, where Drzic (Sven Medvesek) was forced to escape under prosecution of censorship who did not allow criticism and mockery of contemporary Dubrovnik's government. Beautiful scenery of those renaissance cities and beautiful costumes of the time, makes this movie worth seeing, even for those who would not be interesting in a tragic biography of famous writer.

The story starts with a street performance of Drzic's plays mocking to city's officials. Later on there is a carnival on city streets. City council declares that Drzic is highly undesirable, but due to his popularity among people, can not act directly against him. So, they start with intrigues, arresting of supporters, murders… Faced to prosecution, Drzic was forced to escape to Florence, where we follow his life in exile, falling in love with beautiful Countess Desa (Sandra Ceccarelli), trying to escape from Dubrovnik's bounty killers sent to eliminate him and his supporters, which finally ends with his tragic death in Venice 1567. The movie was shown on Croatian TV in January 2008, as a 5 episode series, to celebrate 500 years of birth of this famous writer.
