Emir Kusturica is one of Eastern Europe's most celebrated and
influential filmmakers. Over the course of a thirty-year career,
Kusturica has navigated a series of geopolitical fault lines to
produce subversive, playful, often satiric works. On the way he won
acclaim and widespread popularity while showing a genius for
adjusting his poetic pitch--shifting from romantic realist to
controversial satirist to sentimental jester.
Leading scholar-critic Giorgio Bertellini divides Kusturica's
career into three stages--dissention, disconnection, and
dissonance--to reflect both the historic and cultural changes going
on around him and the changes his cinema has undergone. He uses
Kusturica's Palme d'Or winning Underground (1995)--the famously
inflammatory take on Yugoslav history after World War II--as the
pivot between the tone of romantic, yet pungent critique of the
director's early works and later journeys into Balkanist farce
marked by slapstick and a self-conscious primitivism.
Eschewing the one-sided polemics Kusturica's work often provokes,
Bertellini employs balanced discussion and critical analysis to
offer a fascinating and up-to-date consideration of a major figure
in world cinema.
