Kusdulica's classic masterpiece "Underground Society" has reached its 20th anniversary this year, and the former Yugoslav master director known as the award-winning machine relied on this film to ascend to the Cannes Palme d'Or throne for the second time with a 39-year-old young posture, becoming a legendary classic. Its turbulent and bold style has aroused heated discussions in foreign media including Variety, The Times of London, and Le Monde, and has unanimously given the highest praise, and it is even more difficult to find a ticket when it is released on Stage! Under the thousands of calls, the filmmakers specially introduced this heart-stirring classic film, which will be released on the big screen again as a digital DCP version next Friday (15th), bringing fans back to the glorious and beautiful 90s in the history of film.
Kusdulica is today's most famous and controversial Yugoslav director still filming. His winning skills are unparalleled, and he has not found a second person in the world, he has won the second Cannes Palme d'Or and one best director award, the Venice Silver Lion Award, the Berlin Silver Bear Award and other awards, which is a super heavyweight in the film industry, and is called "the director with the highest award rate" by many media. Almost all of his works, such as "Daddy Goes on a Business Trip", "Wanderer's Song", "Sleepwalking in Arizona", "Underground Society", "Black Cat, White Cat", "Life is a Miracle", are widely known to fans. Kusdulica's films have gorgeous visual and musical visual and musical, often combining various shooting methods such as handheld cameras, push-rail and boom photography. He once laughed at himself, "I'm like a drug addict, I take all kinds of drugs."
Kusdulika was born in the former Yugoslavia known as the "European powder magazine". The war-torn wash chain not only did not wear away his sense of humor, but let him push the magical realistic film style to the extreme. In 1995, the centenary of cinema, Kusdulica's Underground Society also showed a higher degree of ambition—to show the intricate half-century history of the former Yugoslavia in a wild and unruly way, brilliantly rendering the seemingly absurd life under communism. The surreal colors used in this god-made political epic are stunning, both in conception and technology, and he also won the Cannes Palme d'Or with this film, becoming the first director to win gold in Cannes for the second time at the age of 39. In the same year, Hou Xiaoxian, Zhang Yimou, Kenluo District, TimBotton, Jia Mushi and other famous directors competed.
In addition to being a director, Kusdulica is also a super musician, joining the "Smokeless Orchestra" as a bassist in 1986, and the orchestra was responsible for the soundtrack of later films. His musical attainments are fully reflected in his film works, "Underground Society" shows the hidden gloom and sadness with a lively and intense soundtrack, like playing images with music, creating a rather peculiar viewing experience. The film score master "Columbre Goveci", who has a perfect tacit understanding with Kusdulika, also followed "Song of the Wanderer" and once again played his wonderful soundtrack that combines elements such as balkan traditional music, Orthodox religious music and modern rock music.
1995 was a hundred years of cinema, and the Golden Horse Film Festival that year also conformed to the grand event, inviting brilliant movies, in addition to "Underground Society", which won gold in Cannes, as well as "Love at Dawn", "Hospital Storm", "Light of Illusion", "The Story of Lisbon", "The Journey of Life of Ulysses", and Jans Vankmeyer's "Faust". This Saturday (9th) afternoon, in the 2f multi-functional art and culture hall of the Huashan Film Museum in Guangdian, there will also be a special "Film Generation: Kusdulica"," inviting You Huizhen, curator of the Golden Horse Film Festival, and Lin Shuyu, director of "Starry Sky", curator/film critic Tu Xiangwen, and producer of "Meth" Huang Maochang, who have become outstanding workers in various positions in the film circle from the enthusiastic audience of the Golden Horse. Through "Underground Society", they will lead the audience back to that era of wild and uninhibited films.
