Emir Kusturica's films are always full of irony about life, but they are thought-provoking, so that he can appreciate the profound love he has for everything around...

The Balkan accordion is a perfect match for a hand-rolled film movie screening. I wonder if there is an accordion in the Smoke-free Zone band? The life of the Balkan people in Kusturica gives people a power extracted from suffering, which is very close to life.

In which country and dynasty, the Cultural Revolution/White Terror was terrible, my father could not change his cheating and lust, like the Yugoslav people could not change his love for football. The younger son is a cute doll, and the elder son grows into a handsome tramp in a few years. For serious subjects from the perspective of children, sleepwalking is the most drifting element. Throughout the "Waves of the Danube", I think of the later "Father and...
