Amnesiascope, a series of rare and remarkable films, presents Jovan Jovanović's Young and Healthy as a Rose, a tale of violent youthful rebellion that marked a significant step in the Yugoslav Black Wave. Debuted in 1971 and immediately banned until its reemergence in 2006, Jovan Jovanović's feature is ripe for rediscovery.

"Young and Healthy as a Rose is a nail bomb of a movie, a venting of cinematic spleen from someone clearly familiar with the essential ‘60s youthquake attacks like À bout de souffle(1960)—Godard is cheekily name-checked—and Lindsay Anderson’s if… (1968), which it recalls in its climactic, apocalyptic shootout. Even the most lenient of regimes might have found something to protest to in its omni-directional assault." — Nick Pinkerton
