Ambientata negli anni \u201930 a Zagabria, la trama \u00e8 una variante di quella de L\u2019invasione degli ultracorpi (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, 1956). Vidovic \u00e8 lo scrittore vagabondo che scopre che una nuova specie di ratti con la capacit\u00e0 di cambiare forma sta conquistando la citt\u00e0, uccidendo e poi impersonando le proprie vittime. Vidovic elimina i ratti con una sostanza chimica fornitagli dallo scienziato di Sovagovic, ma non prima di aver ucciso la donna che ama convinto che sia una donna-ratto. Il carattere allegorico del film \u00e8 piuttosto confuso – i ratti sembrano rappresentare una forma di fascismo troppo generalizzato – ma la regia di Papic (che ha permesso al film di vincere l\u2019Asteroide d\u2019Oro all\u2019edizione del 1977 del Festival della Fantascienza di Trieste) \u00e8 notevole e molte delle sequenze sono piuttosto grafiche e viscerali, con uno stile insolito per la realizzazione di un film dell\u2019Est Europa.<\/p>\n

Based on a Science Fiction story by Alexander Greene, a Soviet writer who died in Stalin\u2019s purges, Izbavitelj is a powerful political allegory, which in many ways foreshadows Ionesco\u2019s much better known \u201cRhinoc\u00e9ros\u201d. Set in Zagreb in the thirties, the plot is a variant on that of Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956). Vidovic is the vagrant writer who discovers that a new breed of rats, with the ability to change their shape, are taking over the city by killing and then impersonating their victims. He eliminates the rats with a chemical provided by Sovagovic\u2019s scientist but not before he\u2019s killed the girl he loves, believing that she is a rat-person. The allegorical character of the film is somewhat confusing, as the rats seeem to represent an over-generalized form of fascism – but Papic\u2019s direction (which won the film a Golden Asteroid at the 1977 Trieste festival of Science Fiction films) is dramatic and several of the sequences are quite graphic and visceral in a manner that is unusual in Eastern European film-making.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text el_id=””]<\/p>\n
