Long-term observations show that winning the sympathy of the audience is not so difficult. To do this, it is enough to shoot one film or write one musical composition. It is much more difficult to maintain the achieved positions. Only a talented author or performer can show stable results. These include film director and musician Emir Kusturica.
early years
The practice of recent decades shows that not only the climate is changing on our planet, but also the political map of the world. In the biography of Emir Kusturica, it is noted that he was born in Yugoslavia. There was such a country on the European continent. The popular film director and musician was born on November 24, 1954. Parents lived at that time in the city of Sarajevo. Father held a post in the Ministry of Culture, mother was engaged in housekeeping. The child grew up and was brought up in strict rules.
It is important to note that the family encouraged the boy to pursue art. Emir was interested in cinema and learned to play the guitar early. Among the boys in the area, he was famous for one of the best performers of popular melodies. An observant teenager knew well how his peers live and what they dream of in life. Kusturica firmly decided to link his life with cinema. In the socialist republic of Yugoslavia, there were no obstacles to the implementation of any project.
When the guy turned eighteen, he went to receive specialized education at the department of "film and television" at the Academy of Performing Arts. The educational institution was located in Prague. The learning process was compiled in a complex manner. In parallel with theoretical training, students filmed short films. Kusturica was well aware of the training rules and properly prepared for the process. As a diploma work, Emir shot a picture called "Guernica".
Professional activity
After completing his studies, Kusturica returned to Sarajevo and got a job on local television. He was involved in filming news stories and thematic programs. At the same time, he enthusiastically played in one of the rock groups. In 1978, a young director shoots the film "The Brides Are Coming". However, she did not enter the rental. The current censorship rules did not allow this. The first full-length film Do You Remember Dolly Bell? viewers saw it in 1980. The picture won a prize at a prestigious film festival.
The career of the famous director evolved slowly but thoroughly. Viewers and film critics are even accustomed to the fact that every two or three years Emir Kusturica receives another award. The talented stage director and actor was invited to the United States to give several lectures at Columbia University. The Emir shot The Arizona Dream on the Hollywood stage, but in 1992 he returned to his homeland, where the war began. The tragic events in the Balkans served as the basis for the work on the following paintings.
European critics greeted Kustvritsa's films about the war coolly. Prizes at film festivals were not awarded to him. Love for one's native land is not welcomed in Western society. The director's personal life has developed firmly and forever. Maya and Emir have lived under the same roof for over thirty years. The husband and wife raised two children - a son and a daughter.
