Comment and Keep Needing improvement doesn't necessarily mean the article is a candidate for deletion. I will do some digging around to see if I can find information to improve the page. Also, as noted below, the article meets WP:FILM. RickinBaltimore (talk) 16:06, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This seems to indicate a possible Variety review for this film. This also mentions the film. Since this is a foreign-language film that precedes the Internet and does not have strong notability, coverage may be buried in print sources. I've notified WT:CROATIA to see if any editors there can help evaluate this topic's notability. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 16:22, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The film is kept in the Croatian State Archives.[1] (in Croatian), therefore meets one of WP:NFILM criteria ("The film was selected for preservation in a national archive."). GregorB (talk) 17:02, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per GregorB; meets relevant notability guideline. APerson (talk!) 17:26, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per GregorB. Note also, apart from print sources, there are ones online for expanding the article, e.g. this from this film festival in Macedonia and this from the New York Times. Searching under its original title throws up a lot of material. It was apparently presented at the Venice Film Festival (fuori concorso). And frankly, this AfD should be closed for having an invalid deletion rationale. "This needs a world of improvement" is never grounds for deletion, as I have already told Daniel kenneth at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Villamagna and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xylotechnigraphy.

Keep Not a valid reason for deletion and per WP:BEFORE. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 19:11, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep, as above, "needs a world of improvement" is not a valid rationale for deletion. Cavarrone 19:46, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as notable per arguments and evidence provided by editors above. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 20:16, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
