What Films does Arsen Dedić Remember?

Bruno Kragić ; Leksikografski zavod Miroslav Krleža

Sažetak

In many of his songs, Arsen Dedić mentions or alludes to specific films. Starting with a connection between film and lyrics, the connection primarily found in their associative rhetoric, and its ties to the memory process, the author analyzes some of Dedić’s songs (»Moderato cantabile«, »Steamboat Rex«, »Original soundtrack«) and their relation towards the films that have inspired them or are mentioned in them. The author establishes that Dedić is most successful when referring to those films which powerfully stress the theme of memory, while through his verses he recreates the mood of a specific film, and describes some of the scenes in great detail. Also, the poet very often uses specific film titles as the tokens of memory of his own youth, as well as some elements that create a mood of nostalgia which is constantly on the verge of irony.
