Bread, Chocolate and Kusta

While reading "Politika", I came across this text and I couldn't resist the urge to show you the story of the great Kusta od milja called, and otherwise it is about Emir Kusturica, a great film director. To cut a long story short, you better read this article.

Watching a good movie on DVD is the best recipe to forget at least at night about the existence of this insane and invisible "cowboy crown virus" that makes our lives very bitter. After midnight, I put on a DVD with Kusturica's film "Do You Remember Dolly Bell"?


I read in Emir Kusturica's book that, when he was a student in Prague, he had to watch Fellini's film "Amarcord". He watched it, he says, four times. I watched it twice. Maybe even more, if I didn't have to return the DVD to the Paris media library for others to watch. Honestly, I haven't seen a better movie than "Amarcord". After watching, stunned by its quality, I was silent as if flooded. 

"You don't have to become famous like Fellini, at least be like De Sica", a father would say to his son Emir, born in Sarajevo, such as Sarajevo children and Goran Bregovic, Zdravko Colic, Milic Vukasinovic, Momo Kapor, as well as the best journalist of "Politika" of all time, her famous correspondent from London, a gentleman with a bow tie Miroslav Radojčić. True, Emir Kusturica did not become De Sica, as his father had hoped. He became - Fellini. 



The event that took place at the Cannes Film Festival in 1995 will remain in the film annals. The great Greek film director Theo Angelopoulos arrived in Cannes that year with the film "Odyssey's View", convinced that Cannes' "Golden Palm" could not escape him. His life got tired and he went crazy with jealousy and envy when the Cannes jury chaired by the famous French actress Jeanne Moreau decided to award the "Golden Palm" to Emir Kusturica's film "Underground".

Evil tongues say that Kusta's team in Cannes constantly watched the "Golden Palm" trophy. Out of a justified fear that Angelopoulos, completely upset and annoyed, will "smooth" her and take her to his Athens sooner or later in a victorious style. Later, there were Cannes stories that Kusta was willing to give the "Golden Palm" to his colleague Angelopoulos for one day. That Angelopoulos is watching her. To caress her. To admire her. And then, white, to return the "Golden Palm" to him, alive and well, as it should be. 

Combining through a "thick comb" of Italian, Czech and French cinematography on DVDs borrowed from the Paris media library, after a while I came to the films of the great film director from our mountainous Balkans, the already mentioned, Tea Angelopoulos. Angelopoulos could have won the "Golden Palm" instead of our Kusturica for the film "Odyssey's View" of a calm soul. It will be that Cousteau, in the "Sarajevo" way, knew how to expertly charm and "roll the vine" around the film diva Jeanne Moreau, so she simply had no choice but to award our "macho and twisted charmer" the prestigious Cannes award.


While Theo Angelopoulos did not succeed in the first, he succeeded in the second Cannes attempt. He received the Cannes "Golden Palm" three years later for the film "Eternity and a Day". Believe me, I was looking forward to his "Golden Palm" just as if I had received it. Angelopoulos, from the Balkans, was immensely happy on the glittering Cannes stage, holding the "Golden Palm" in his hands, just like a child when his father fulfills his greatest gift-wish. Angelopoulos adored film art to such an extent that his film passion cost him even his life. While he was filming the movie "Another Sea" on the streets of the port of Piraeus, a Greek policeman who was not on duty at the time ran into him on a motorcycle. After that, Angelopoulos succumbed to injuries in the Piraeus ambulance, at the age of 74. 

Watching a good movie on DVD is the best recipe to forget at least at night about the existence of this insane and invisible "cowboy crown virus" which makes our lives very bitter. After midnight, I put on a DVD with Kusturica's film "Do You Remember Dolly Bell?" Let me look at him one more time, then one more time, when the phone jerks. I knew, one hundred percent, that at that time, as usual, only Alexander Boguslayev (42), a Ukrainian businessman, could call me. That Boguslajev who, if you remember, recently bought the Italian island of Galinara in the shape of a turtle, for "only" ten million euros. 

"How far have you come in the film?" Boguslayev asks me. "Did you come to that sequence when that little one says, 'Every day in every way, I'm progressing more and more'?" "No, I haven't yet," I said. "For me, that film is the best among Kusturica's films," Boguslajev said enthusiastically. "Have fun," was the last of Boguslayev before they wished me a good "crown night". 

I mean something, the Monegasque Boguslayev is really right. "Do You Remember Dolly Bell" is really the best film that came out of Kustina's workshop. Sarajevo Paradise was having a crazy time on the carousel on Marindvor, and their idol Adriano Celentano and his "24,000 kisses" were blaring from the speakers. Kustin's film was included in the official selection of the Venice Film Festival. The commander of the barracks gave Kusti permission to go to the Venice Festival - after the "Golden Lion". I don't know whether Kusturica returned to the barracks with the "Golden Lion" and whether the commander of this barracks was promoted to a higher rank thanks to Kusturica's unprecedented success. Everything is possible. 

The crown has now braked everything. Even making new movies. I guess that vaccine will finally arrive, so let's take a collective break. And for Kusta to roll up his sleeves again and get to work, which he does perfectly well. Will we finally see "On the Drina Bridge" on the movie screen, or is it too big a movie bite for the world's greatest directors? I watched Kustin's last film "On the Milky Way" when it was just released. 

It was programmed in Parisian cinemas only for the end of July. The first thing that went through my head: Which French film distributor came up with the idea to show Kusturica's "On the Milky Way" in the summer heat, when no one goes to the cinema alive? This film of his, hand on heart, is not at the level of Kusturica's greatest films. But, admittedly, he was more or less saved by actress Monica Bellucci. Even now, it is not clear to me how Kusta managed to search normally with a film camera when the racial Italian beauty Bellucci is in the foreground. I am sure that the hand of the great Fellini of Rimini would also tremble.

I can only imagine what would happen to the Italian Nina Manfredi, the director of the great film "Bread and Chocolate".

"Bread and Chocolate" is a film by Nino Manfredi, a famous Italian director, and the story is about Kusturica, a Serbian director who won the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival for one year. Of course, Nino Manfredi and the Greek Theo Angelopoulos had a desire for them to be the winners of this great award.

The Underworld is the craziest, craziest movie and it really deserved the Palme d'Or ... And now some scenes make me laugh sweetly from that movie, even though it's a story about the suffering of ordinary people during the Second World War ...

Emir was baptized a couple of years ago and says that with that act he returned to his ancestral faith. It doesn't matter to me personally because I don't value a person through religion or nation. I was thrilled first as a director, so I read his books in one breath because they were written as honestly as possible and finally with Monica Bellucci in the film as an actor and director and screenwriter ... my man 100%
