Some books... |
There are quite a few books exclusively dedicated to Emir Kusturica, but the few existing are very interesting.
Title : Le lexique subjectif d'Emir Kusturica
Author : Matthieu Dhennin
Editor : L'Âge d'Homme
Language : french
Publication : 2006This book deals more about the man than his work, and tries to draw a portrait made of contrasts, little and big stories, oppositions, fights and friendships, in short : a collection of anecdotes and selected interviews extracts that should allow everyone to better understand the man who hides behind his films. Written as an homage to Milorad Pavić's Khazar Lexicon the book is made of various entries, alphabetically sorted, allowing a linear or a transversal reading, at your choice. Complementary to the website, the book should still learn many things to anyone who has already read all the pages, and reciprocally.
