Serbia – Moments of Beauty and Joy 5
And what has Maradona to do with Serbia… a lot since Emir Kusturica made a film about him that I saw in the Stanly Kubrick Cinema in Kustendorf, a village on a hill top set up by the same Kusturica with typical Serbian houses, a perfect weekend holiday place with fine rooms, restaurants and small streets named after Bergman, Fellini, Ivo Andric and many others from cinema and culture.
The Maradona film is not what Kusturica was aiming for, the film about Maradona, but it is probably the best one so far. And he is a fantastic character for a film, Maradona, with his dramatic career of ups and downs, his (naive) political point of views, his family life and his football skills. Now a coach for Argentina’s national team, still not qualified for the World Cup next year as Denmark and Serbia!
