Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

We saw the film in video-version last night with a group of friends while we ate cheese, aceitunas negras, salami and ravioles.
I almost not remembered the film (it´s strange but I have absolutely long-term-bad-memory in relation with films, I have to see them more than once).
We couldn´t see where it was filmed: the river and country scenes reminded us very much our landscape.

Sinopsis:
Matko es hijo de un viejo ex-delincuente al que engaña con el objetivo de sacarle el dinero que necesita para negociar en el mercado negro la compra de petróleo.

Kusturica, que obtuvo el León de Oro a la mejor dirección con esta película en Festival de Cine de Venecia 1998, estaba dispuesto a dejar el cine después de la polémica política que suscitó su anterior trabajo, Underground, ganadora de la Palma de Oro en el Festival de Cannes.

good link jimbo! but it doesn´t say where the film was shooted.
Our next film will be "Waking to life". Some of us saw fragmented parts of the movie in tv but not the whole film. Maybe we´ll eat paella.

"Waking to Life"
Will it be in Spanish, like, dubbed?
It is a fabulous illustrated film.
The images are compelling as is the dialogue,
stream of consciousness
segway into segway


So you want to find out where the Chat noir, chat blanc
was filmded

"Waking life", of course with spanish subtitulados.

So you want to find out where the Chat noir, chat blanc
was filmded: it´s not an urgent thing, just curiosity.

don't fall asleep during the movie but any kinds of stimulants would be good for your experience.

Everythying in moderation de veras.....

I don´t understand your advice at all jimbo, but thanks to try to take care of my equilibrio. You´re a sweet thing.

sweet and dumb, i am.

I've always wanted to see his films

is waking life "la vie est un miracle?"

he also released an album with the No Smoking Orchestra

no... Life is a miracle is La vida es un milagro is la vie est un miracle: the last known Kusturica film.
how do you translate waking life to french?. This is a film written by Linklater, (imagine Woody Allen plug in more than one theory & something like digital animation).
enjoy kusturica!,

I can't find the exact translation of Waking Life in French.
Waking life was made in 2001 (apparently) and the only other name I can find of him in 2001, on French sites, is Super 8 Stories.

Waking life ~ la vie qui éveille (litteral translation)
