Produced in 1966, Rondo was the first full-length film by former musician and screenwriter Zvonimir Berkovic, screenwriter of H8, a famous Croatian 50's classic. In both films, he uses musical form as a source for the narrative. As in Mozart's Rondo (which is repeatedly played in the soundtrack) in Berkovic's film the basic situation - Sunday afternoon chess party - is repeated with small variations, slowly bringing the three character towards a crisis. Very formal, very intimistic and set in a cosy middle-class environment, Rondo was very different from previous Yugoslav film tradition, introducing esthetic of the modernist psychological novel into Croatian cinema. It is still considered as one of three biggest classics of Croatian 60s modernism.
