Otac na sluzbenom putu (1985)

Tito’s break-up with Stalin in 1948 marked the beginning of not only confusing, but also very dangerous years for many hard-core Yugoslav communists. A careless remark about the newspaper cartoon is enough for Mesha to join many arrested unfortunates. His family is now forced to cope with the situation and wait for his release from prison. The story is told from the perspective of Malik, his young son who believes the mother’s story about father being “away on business”.

Emir Kusturica – Bife ‘Titanik’ (1980)

admin — Sat, 07 Jan 2023 14:34:18 +0000

Film description from kustu.net:
Quote:
Titanic has almost nothing to do with the steamer of the same name. Based on a short story of Ivo Andrić, famous Yugoslav Nobel Prize, this film is set in Sarajevo. But the catastrophe is nevertheless coming. Often badly translated under the title of Buffet Titanic, it is in fact the Titanic Bar, the name of the bar of jewish Mento Papo, character physically and psychologically marked by its doubts and its defects : its establishment is hiding a prohibited back gaming room, he is rather easy on drinking, he does not cease quarreling with his concubine, he is scorned by the Jews of Sarajevo, etc. The story is set during the Second World War, and when the news of the war arrive in Bosnia, Mento Papo is not ready.

Concerning the style, we already find in this film the Emir Kusturica’s touch , like :
– some sequences where the action is simultaneously on the foreground and the background.
– A dice gambling game where the main character, already a poor man, looses all his money to the cheater fellows. He will even loose the last billet he had hidden in his sock. This scene will be recycled in Time of the gypsies.
– Some inside sequences filmed from the outside of the building, through a window show a strong Tarkovski influence.
– A lot of work on shadows, reflections, and lamps
-The themes, the claustrophobia generated by this glaucous inn, the yellow tinted atmosphere make of Titanic a direct precursor to Underground.

Emir Kusturica – Bila jednom jedna zemlja AKA Underground [TV series] (1995)

admin — Wed, 25 May 2022 00:45:31 +0000

The story follows an underground weapons manufacturer in Belgrade during WWII and evolves into fairly surreal situations. A black marketeer who smuggles the weapons to partisans doesn’t mention to the workers that the war is over, and they keep producing. Years later, they break out of their underground “shelter” — only to convince themselves that the war is still going on.

Quote:
An Innuit hunter races his sled home with a fresh-caught halibut. This fish pervades the entire film, in real and imaginary form. Meanwhile, Axel tags fish in New York as a naturalist’s gofer. He’s happy there, but a messenger arrives to bring him to Arizona for his uncle’s wedding. It’s a ruse to get Axel into the family business. In Arizona, Axel meets two odd women: vivacious, needy, and plagued by neuroses and familial discord. He gets romantically involved with one, while the other, rich but depressed, plays accordion tunes to a gaggle of pet turtles.

Emir Kusturica – Sjecas Li Se, Dolly Bell ? aka Do you remember, Dolly Bell ? (1981)

admin — Tue, 17 Mar 2020 06:45:00 +0000

SYNOPSIS: (from the Artificial Eye release)
As Hollywood movies begin to find their way into the country, sixteen year-old Dino becomes seduced by the glamour of the gangster films that flash before his eyes at the local cinema. Determining to follow a life of crime himself, Dino falls in with a band of petty crooks until a liaison with local prostitute Dolly Bell turns his world upside down in a way not even the movies could have prepared him for.

A two-times winner of the Cannes Film Festival’s prestigious Palme d’Or, Kusturica’s energy and unique cinematic eye are very much in evidence in this thoughtful, charming and eccentric comedy that won the Golden Lion for best first film at the Venice Film Festival.

Patrice Leconte – La veuve de Saint-Pierre AKA The Widow of St. Pierre (2000)

admin — Wed, 15 Oct 2014 05:48:51 +0000

Quote: Though set in the French colony of St Pierre and Miquelon, the movie was filmed on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. The French title La Veuve de Saint-Pierre contains wordplay. “Veuve” translates to “Widow”. In the 1800s the word was also slang for a guillotine. The Widow of Saint-Pierre (French: La veuve de Saint-Pierre) is a 2000 film by Patrice Leconte with Juliette Binoche, Daniel Auteuil and Emir Kusturica. The film made its North American debut at the 2000 Toronto Film Festival where it won the Audience Award. It was nominated for a Golden Globe Award in 2001 for Best Foreign Language Film. The film was also nominated in 2001 for two César Awards. Quote: In 1879, on the small French island of Saint-Pierre off the coast of Newfoundland, Neel Auguste (Emir Kusturica) and his friend carry a joke too far while they are drunk and murder a man. The friend dies in an accident on the way to prison. Neel is put into the custody of the Captain (Daniel Auteuil), a military officer whose wife Madame La (Juliette Binoche) is the most beautiful woman on the island. Kind-hearted and compassionate, she takes Neel on as her protégé, teaching him to read, work in the garden with her, and perform odd jobs for widows in the community. Much to the dismay of the local authorities who sentenced Neel to death, no one seems too upset with the prisoner’s free movement among them. He even finds a wife and is allowed to marry her. Finally, after many delays, a ship arrives from Martinique with a guillotine for the execution. Unable to find anyone in the community to serve as executioner, the island’s governor and his inner circle convince a poverty-stricken immigrant to take the job. By this time, the Captain agrees with his wife that Neel should not be executed. Patrice Leconte (The Girl on the Bridge) directs this compelling drama that speaks volumes about the inhumanity of the death penalty, especially since the man who is sentenced is rarely the same person by the time of the execution. The Captain and his wife are soulmates who refuse to temper their ardent belief in mercy and their vision of justice. Daniel Auteuil shines as the idiosyncratic Captain who is fiercely devoted to his wife. He revels in his “outsider” status in the eyes of the governor and his cronies who take every opportunity they can to humiliate him. But it is Juliette Binoche who stands at the storm center of this drama as an unswerving idealist. The Buddhist teacher Pema Chodron has written: “If we are willing to stand fully in our own shoes and never give up on ourselves, then we will be able to put ourselves in the shoes of others and never give up on them. True compassion does not come from wanting to help out those less fortunate than ourselves but from realizing our kinship with all beings.” Madame La shows us the wonders compassion can achieve and the high cost of its courageous expression.
