	Emir Kusturica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Emir Kusturica (Serbian Cyrillic: Емир Кустурица; IPA: [ku.stur.'i.tza]) (born November 24, 1954) is a Bosnian Serb filmmaker born in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia (today Bosnia and Herzegovina).
		While some critics claimed Kusturica propagated a pro-Serbian view of the Yugoslav conflict (including animosities during WWII), others held the opinion that his ironic characterizations of Balkan ethnic groups were equally detrimental to all.
		Emir Kusturica is the winner of the Philippe Rotthier European Architecture Award for his Kustendorf ethnic village project (also called Drvengrad - a “wooden town”) on Mt. Zlatibor, Serbia, in 2005.

	Emir Kusturica
		Emir Kusturica creates a lyrical, humorous, poignant, and captivating tale of innocence, political turmoil, and forgiveness in When Father Was Away on Business.
		Emir Kusturica's Time of the Gypsies is a curious, visually hypnotic film: a lyrical glimpse into an exotic, obscure culture, a tragedy of lost innocence, a reaffirmation of love and family.
		Inevitably, the prophetic words, "War is not a war unless a brother kills a brother", proves to be an elegiacal passage in a solemn requiem for the fractured soul of a lost nation.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Interviews \| 'I will not cut my film'
		Kusturica is a walking morass of contradictions: a Sarajevan "Muslim" whom many Bosnians accuse of abandoning his city at its hour of greatest need to side with the Serbs.
		Kusturica does not have fans as much as followers, who turn out in their thousands all over the world to his concerts when this bear of a man takes his Balkan "punk" band, the No Smoking Orchestra, on the road.
		Kusturica is even planning a film as a part of his crusade against consumerism, where the daughter of a prostitute flees the city with a country boy.

	Kinoeye - Emir Kusturica: Critical Mush
		Emir Kusturica, the Sarajevo-born film director, has in his career experienced the extremes of adulation and moral outrage.
		Kusturica denied, though, that he was romanticising the harsh conditions that the Roma often have to endure.
		Kusturica defended the Milošević regime in its early years in interviews, and later, although he was less vociferous in his support, adopted much the same language that Milošević was using to express himself to the press.

	INTERVIEW: Momentum and Emotion, Emir Kusturica's "Black Cat, White Cat"
		Kusturica's talent for exhilarating tales have made this Bosnian-born auteur one of the most awarded filmmakers in the world.
		Kusturica sat down with indieWIRE for an in-depth interview during his visit to the New York Film Festival last year, to discuss his total and crazy devotion to cinema, his elaborate tracking shots, the importance of location and kitsch.
		Kusturica: It's very difficult to do it, but it's really something that is like a meeting point in between certain aesthetic patterns, like Jean Renoir and at the same time, the place where Italian Neorealism was discovering this spontaneous movements and new acting.

		Emir Kusturica pushed his whimsical comic fantasy style to new, manic heights in this frantic, frequently hilarious fable of Gypsy life, mob debts, arranged marriage and true romance.

		Please rate the article and then leave a short summary here to explain the ratings and/or to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the article.
		[1] The best strategy for selling papers in Sarajevo is sticking Kusturica on the cover, and this magazine being clearly aware of that used it to sell some copies (as they did on numerous prior occasions when they had him on the cover for no newsworthy reasons).
		Secondly, Start's story is clearly false in its core because they claimed the actual lyric appears in the song, which is definitely not true.

	Wallflower Press- the Cinema of Emir Kusturica
		With seven highly acclaimed films to his credit, Kusturica is already established as one of the most important of contemporary filmmakers, with each of his films winning prizes at major festivals around the world.
		Kusturica has a loud and inflammatory public persona which, one thinks, is partly a consequence of a naturally rebellious streak.
		While Kusturica is internationally celebrated as a “carnivalesque” filmmaker from a part of the world – Bosnia – where East meets West, Gocic concludes that Kusturica’s contribution to cinema may be his masterful evocation of the “tragicomic”.

	Chaos and Control: The Cinema of Emir Kusturica: Notes from the Underground by Bernadette Kester
		Kusturica's is a world that's cyclical rather than developmental, so any idea of ambition is viewed as somehow peripheral to the film's giddy centre where petty squabbles and familial strife offer more room for the Kusturican chaos.
		There are motivated actions in Kusturica – most famously, the central character keeping the underground community in Underground in ignorance of the fact WWII has ended – but Kusturica is less interested in the motivated action than the subsequent absurdity of the underground characters living their lives so obliviously.
		They are, whatever Kusturica's claims about lightness, great films of accumulating gravity as the characters increase the weight of their being no matter the nature of their existential flight.

		Widely regarded as one of the most innovative filmmakers of his generation, Emir Kusturica twice won the Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or before the age of 40, and, film for film, it is difficult to think of a more consistently lauded artist than this Bosnian-born director.
		Kusturica collected his second Palme d'Or, as well as his best American reviews to that time, for "Underground", a film lamenting the death of Yugoslavia and spanning 50 years from the German invasion to the civil war.
		Kusturica's reaction to the criticism was to abandon filmmaking, but he later rescinded his retirement, eventually directing "Black Cat, White Cat" (1998), in which he returned to his passion for gypsy culture.

	Life is a Miracle review - movie review of the Emir Kusturica film starring Slavko Stimac
		What's miraculous about Emir Kusturica's cinema is his immense savoir-faire; what's disastrous are his doubtful ideological intentions.
		Kusturica combines the fantasy of a complex universe, characterized by saturation, with the poetry of his syntax and the safety of his sense of the narration.
		Kusturica uses metaphors, like the cruel bears which devour an unfortunate man. There are still these small sentences disseminated in the film, which come out of the TV set, where it is question of the Serbian people, to him also victims in the story, of abuses of power.

	Emir Kusturica by Dina Iordanova (London: British Film Institute, 2002)
		Rather than plunging headlong into the maelstrom of conflicting critical stances regarding Kusturica's films and his personal aesthetics and ethics, Iordanova wisely chooses to follow a course of analytical investigation and balanced discussion rather than one of polemic confrontation and one-sided political stigmatising.
		For example, her discussion of Kusturica' s well known penchant for enriching his visual text with multiple citations and allusions to other films and popular junk culture (Euro-trash) leads Iordanova into a scavenger hunt in which trivial and dubious intertextual references are insufficiently distinguished from visual citations and transformations of major significance.
		On the other hand, she can be admirably succinct and convincing in her discussion of Kusturica's multi-layered management of visual foreground and background, his sweeping use of travelling shots, stunning visual panoramas, and recurring images of aspiration and transcendence.

	Emir Kusturica
		Concentrating on the political troubles of Yugoslavia and the life of its Gypsy community (with whom he spent his formative years) Kusturica's films are remarkable for their manic energy and skilful blend of anarchic humour and melancholy.
		Twice winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes (When Papa Was Away On Business in 1985 and Underground in 1995), his imaginative direction frequently exhilarates, only rarely lapsing into self-indulgence.
		A political opponent of the Milosevic regime in Serbia, Kusturica lives in Paris but continues, as Black Cat White Cat (his most recent feature) evidences, to draw rich inspiration from the peoples of his homeland.
