About the book: 2012 / The autobiography of Emir Kusturica is a frank and colorful story by the director about himself. Kusturica seems to be writing a script for a film in which he himself plays the main role. Here is the story of the Titanic, which was saved at the cost of a broken arm. Here is a story about the first meeting with a woman. And here is the only phrase he had to say when he received his first tiny role in a movie. And also the story of how the future director Kusturica tried several times to watch Fellini’s famous “Amarcord” and, to his shame, fell asleep every time in the first frames. A story about friendship with Johnny Depp, about his films and rock band, about the war that forever changed his native Sarajevo, about friends and casual acquaintances, about life and death, about hatred and love... The autobiography of Emir Kusturica is a book about what is still has always remained behind the scenes.
