The Battle of Neretva is the most epic movie ever made in Yugoslavia. A true blockbuster with an ensemble cast which includes not only the top names of Yugoslav cinema but also world known actors like Orson Welles and Yul Brynner. It was shot on an epic scale never before seen on the Balkans including numerous extras and even two large scale replicas of the historic bridge on the river Neretva that was blown up during WWII. Until this day it is the most expensive movie to ever come out of this region. It maybe the most beautiful looking movie that came out on the Balkans with breathtaking external shots on par with Hollywood productions at the time. The musical score is timeless and the production design incredibly intricate. Add to that the movie poster which was designed by the one and only Pablo Picasso and you got yourself arguably the fondest remembered Partisan film ever.
