Our present knowledge of the history of Slovak cinematography is into a great extent shaped thanks to efforts of the group of film scientists (V. MACEK, J. PASTÉKOVÁ, M. CIEL, M. SMATLÁK, J. MACKO and others) who have within the period of several years after 1989 revolution not only succeeded to systematise the basic cinematography knowledge as such, but also have created new conception systems. Such films from the previous era which could evoke enjoyment and fun were not found, since the majority of films were of a normalisation type. This article concentrates on a new assessment of the normalisation phenomenon in the Slovak cinematography, mainly on its cynicism reflected not only in the well-known censorship strategy and control of all film making phases, but also in film texts. The spotlight of this consideration represents those films in which linear 'realistic' narration is disturbed by complex systems of reminiscences used in a previous decade, in sixties, to achieve formal effects.
