A vain Emperor who cares for nothing but his appearance and attire hires two tailors who are really swindlers that promise him the finest, best suit of clothes from a fabric invisible to anyone who is unfit for his position or “just hopelessly stupid”. Carevo novo ruho is the first feature film by Ante Babaja. It is a stylized parody inspired by the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, an allegory of a totalitarian society, cult of the ruler and the general atmosphere of that time.It filmed on a white background and it is the first Croatian movie in color. |
