“UNDERGROUND” BETWEEN WILL TO POWER AND SOCIAL FEELING: ON CE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A COUNTRY WITH BELGRADE AS CAPITAL

Art and Culture section

Abstract

Once more the Bosniac director Emir Kusturica tells us a flabe dedicated to a period half-way between sorrow and wish, between error and truth, between will to power and social feeling, between upper world and the lower one. It is the circularly infinite fable of that big “lie” which is the “story of people”, epically represented on the stage of the life of three characters, escorted in their destinies of ontologically inferiores human beings. The lower self-built anti-word obeys a “private logic” which is too distant from the “common logic” of the violent, bloody and menacing upper world: the only possible solution is the lethal flight in a mad “Utopia”
