Varúj..! alebo prípad Ondrej Muranica
Warn Him..!, or, the case of Ondrej Muranica

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the paper entitled Warn Him..!, or, the case of Ondrej Muranica is to analyse the poetics and aesthetics of the first largely Slovak feature film produced shortly after World War II., in 1946. It focuses on the characteristics of formal means of expression with overreaches in the contents and national principles, which are brought to prominence in this first Slovak feature film. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of the stage, acting, and direction characteristics which are attributed to the actor and film director Paľo Bielik, founder of the Slovak feature film production. The feature film Warn Him..! is among the fundamental pillars of Slovak cinematography, which is markedly reflected in the construing of schemes and stereotypes typical of Bielik’s feature film production and which are also to be found in the production of other Slovak film directors that followed suit.
