 Probably the best known of Bauer's films is the 1963 feature "Face to Face" ("Licem u lice"), a film which is considered to be the first Yugoslav political film.It tells a story about a rebel worker who challenges a manager during a communist party meeting in a huge construction company.Although it was initially seen as controversial due to its political content, the film eventually received support by communist officials, which was understood among filmmakers as a green light for more overt depictions of socially controversial topics.
