Abstract

Senečić’s novel Film of our days (Zagreb, 1933) raises several question at the »myth and the contemporary« meeting (K. Nemec). This work explores the influence of the acclaimed Das Kinobuch (Kinodramen) by Pinthus (Leipzig, 1914), which also brought Albert Ehrenstein’s original text, Der Tod Homers oder: das Martyrium eines Dichters, to light. Outside of the »upper edge of expressionism«, the novel Film of our days paints a grotesque image of the social reality of Zagreb in 1933, through various viewpoints in line with the kinetic principle of a film in keeping with G. Grosz’s spirit of photomontage collage. The theater adaptation of urban civilization with images of a consumer society and subculture is explored as »genre sweeping« in the novel.
