Flight

Each hero of Emir Kusturica would like to fly away.

Emir Kusturica : I had a professor in Prague who said to me “One makes the difference between a bad film and a good film by the fact that in good film, the characters seems to escape from gravity”. I said to myself then, why not straightforwardly make people fly like Chagall?
