Synopsis

He has a miraculous gift to inspire people with happiness. 'Einstein in cinema', two tine winner of Palme d'Or at Cannes, musician, citizen of Yugoslavia - professor Emir Kustirica never laces his shoes, walks around shaggy-haired and eats wolfberries... His life - feeling of immediacy and freedom. At the end of Earth, in the land where telephone pole is poured with a watering pot and a pig day after day gorges an old rusty car Kusturica builds his own village Kustendorf. Where wry houses are named after immortal persons, where Johnny Depp watches over Dostoevsky and deep under the ground there is a cinema.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
