English I wouldn't be so strict, Kusturica at least tried another profession after his career as a musician, occasional footballer and director: anal spelunker. ()

English Football as a class struggle and a documentary like a restive leftist agitator. There is nothing worse than the proletarians from the establishment - two of them meet here and the result is very reminiscent of the barren meetings of salon revolutionaries. The smaller one babbles textbook phrase of South American Communism, while the larger one tries to show the viewer that the speaker is not an idiot, but rather almost a god. As long as Emir gives his opinions a symbolic framework of artistic expression, he speaks to me from his soul, but unfortunately, as soon as he descends to the gross demagoguery and glorification of political lunatics, his humor and vision suddenly become completely foreign to me... I therefore recommend this to crazy people who proudly wear Che's portraits, or to crazy people who prefer to think of Maradona's goals rather than sex. The world has changed. ()
