«Помнишь ли ты Долли Белл?"- a lyrical drama, which was released in 1981, when its creator was not yet 30 years old. It is with this melodic work that we should begin studying the phenomenon of Kusturica's films.

Here the first collisions with pop culture are shown, the experiences of the first love are beautifully presented. Will an ordinary guy from Sarajevo win the actress Dolly Bell?

When one of the journalists asked the maestro,why he is so interested in gypsies, he called them bright representatives of the marginal culture, whose consciousness was not affected by the influence of the programmed life typical of modern society. "The Time of the Gypsies" is his first touch on this topic, which is addressed to later films of Kusturica. A list of excellent master paintings can not but include the drama marked by the award of the Cannes Film Festival.
The main hero of the story is a talented young man,the ability to move objects with a glance. His financial situation does not allow him to marry his beloved girlfriend. However, the guy does not intend to resign himself to this situation. The picture is worth seeing for the sake of Bregovic's inimitable music.

The return turned out to be worthy, which is confirmed by numerous awards, which were awarded to the tragicomedy, among which the French award "César". The action of the tape takes place during the years of battles in the Balkans. The focus is on simple values, such as love, family.
Audience deserves attention and "Arizonadream "- a good film director, considering the process of growing a person, turning from a young boy into a man. The picture should certainly be seen by fans of Johnny Depp, as the famous American actor in it starred.
