Maribor is a Slovenian city set amid wine-region hills on the Drava River. On Glavni Trg, the old town's main square, the Renaissance-style Town Hall (Mariborski rotovž) dates from 1515. On nearby Grajski Trg square, 15th-century Maribor Castle houses a frescoed Knights' Hall and the Regional Museum of Maribor, with extensive displays of local artifacts. To the southwest, Mariborsko Pohorje is a prominent ski resort.
Kavarna Astoria (1989)
The city of Maribor before the Second World War, and Maribor after its liberation is marked by the period in which the film "Cafe Astoria" is set. With a gentle melancholy and a slight irony, the film relates to the lives of a middle-class family: the café owner and his wife and son. Through their individual destinies we become acquainted with the social and historical background of a bygone era; the social and national differences of prewar Maribor, divisions among the wealthy and poor, nationally-minded Slovenes and fanatic Germanophiles. The first year after the war introduced the absurd, characteristic, cruel measures of the so-called revolutionary social transformations in which calamity and coincidence intervene, resulting in events of comic nature as seen from safe distance of 50 years.
