Good Morning

With the film Good Morning Ante Babaja took one last look in the bloodthirsty jaws also known as Time with eyes wide open Until then he did not spare his characters death and transience and when the time came he directed a childishly inquisitive view on his own inevitable ending He did it with a small miniDV camera and in a matter of seconds turned from a professional filmmaker to an amateur who films not only when he can and when the conditions are favorable but always and everywhere because he feels a need to express himself through film and think in terms of film At the end of his five decades long career Babaja had the modesty and the inspiration to start again As an 80yearold he made his first featurelength documentary film using digital technology for the first time Good Morning impressively and consistently rounds up the artistic and life trajectory of a great modernist and paints a unique authorial trace he left in the history of our cinema
