Product Description

Director Emir Kusturica is known outside of his native Bosnia for films such as ARIZONA DREAM, UNDERGROUND and BLACK CAT, WHITE CAT. This early example of his work was shot in his home country in the early 1980s (when it was still known as Yugoslavia), is set in the 1960s, and follows the fortunes of a young man named Dino (Slavko Stimac). Enthralled by the life that flashes before his eyes in the local cinema, Dino becomes enamored of the criminal life, and enters into a life of petty crime. But when he is rewarded for his work via a liaison with local prostitute Dolly Bell (Ljiljana Blagojevic), his world is turned upside down as he falls in love with her. Showing signs of the stylistic flair that Kusturica was to effectively deploy in later movies, DO YOU REMEMBER DOLLY BELL? is a must-see for fans of his work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Difficult but stick with it

I was surprised to find this available on Prime. I had attempted to watch it about 20 years ago but only made it through the first 30 minutes. The film can be a bit oppressive even with the comedic moments. It takes a more serious turn about halfway through and becomes very engrossing and emotional. A boy growing up in Sarajevo in 1963. You can find a little more of the plot on the internet but the film is not widely known. I can heartily recommend it to anyone who enjoys East European films.

Pure comedy, just as Amazon categorizes it. Fast paced, coherent, a laugh a minute. No need to stock up on antidepressants, this film is immune to them.

Very good coming of age film that translates well into any language. Mild nudity and some strong language but certainly PG-13 material as a whole.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every day in every way...
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2007
I'm really surpised to read the luke warm reviews of this film. It is an enchanting, intriguing story, extremely well written and the acting is some of the best I've ever seen. (Although I think many of the actors were not "professional", at least at the time the film was made). That coupled with its setting in per-war Sarajevo makes it a film not to be missed. This film is not showy but it is deep, politically and emotionally.

The problem seems to be that EK's later films are so frenetic and fabulous that the reviewers just can't see the excellence of this seemingly simpler film. The cinematography is mind blowing. Watch it again, watch it slowly, see how the camera is used, how the scenes are constructed in space and over time. EK clearly knows the history of film. Beyond brilliant. That coupled with the superb script makes this a movie to buy and keep close to the DVD player and your heart.

And finally, I think it is almost impossible to understand Underground, While Father Was Away and Black Cat/White Cat completely without seeing Dolly Bell.

You get a slice of life in Sarajevo (before war broke out in the early 90s and destroyed the place.)

Not a great film, not bad either. Entertaining and thoughtfully put together. Worth getting if you like this director's work.

1.0 out of 5 stars Exercise in Time Travel Boredom!
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2022
First, I have been a fan of foreign films for decades. However, even they can have some stinkers, and this is one of the worst I have ever encountered. I would only recommend this for those who want to be tortured by experiencing what life was like in 1960's Yugoslavia. This movie moves with the speed of a glacier, minus any hint of excitement. Boring people doing boring things and arguing over who is more informed about the glorious ideas of Marx. Sounds great, eh?

3.0 out of 5 stars Well made, but....
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2021
Interesting premise, and that's what got me to watch in the first place. The movie is well directed, and well produced, but very slowly paced and somewhat hard to follow. Far too psychologically grounded for my taste. Very gothic in atmosphere. If that's your thing, you'll enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ti ricordi Dolly Bell?
Reviewed in Italy on March 6, 2017

Primo film per il grande schermo di Kusturica.
Ho scelto questa versione "sub-eng" in quanto quella sottotitolata in italiano è difficile da reperire.

La pellicola mostra la crescita di Dino, giovane della Sarajevo degli anni '60. Le tematiche trattate sono numerose, talvolta molto crude, motivo per cui lo consiglio anche ai non amanti "del genere".

Il dvd era un regalo ed è stato molto apprezzato.

Not for "Hollywood" tastes. This film is on par with the style and subject matter of some of the French New Wave films of the 60's. If you like the early coming of age films by Truffaut, you will most likely enjoy this one.

Reviewed in France on June 19, 2010

ce film est clairement le préambule au temps des gitans, traitant de thèmes proches (prostitution et problèmes familiaux dans un système économique mal en point).
le sous-titrage aurait pu (et même dû) être fait en français, car les dialogues ne sont vraiment pas comliqués.
pas une oeuvre majeure de kusturica, mais très bon quand-même.
les bonus sont très insuffisants.

5.0 out of 5 stars Coming of age in 1960s Yugoslavia
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 24, 2010

This is Emir Kusturica's debut movie and was crowned with the Golden Lion at the 1981 Venice Film Festival.

It follows the coming of age of Dino (Slavko Stimac), set in the background of a summer in Sarajevo of the late 60s. He struggles in his growing up between his slightly eccentric father, a group of friends at the local culture centre, the then new rock'n'roll and movie culture ( 24.000 Baci  and Europa di notte feature strongly), and perhaps most importantly provides temporary shelter to 'Dolly Bell' - a young prostitute he falls in love with.

Infused into the movie is the immersion in a fairly naive and innocent communism, hypnosis for self betterment and music, all of which provide the first inklings of Kusturica's later movie themes.

The acting is excellent throughout and one will recognise many of the characters that grace Kusturica's later movies as well.

If you enjoyed  Underground [DVD] [1995 ],  When Father Was Away On Business [DVD] [1985 ],  Time Of The Gypsies (1988) Dom za vesanje (VHS VIDEO PAL) english subtitles , Arizona Dream [DVD] [1995 ], or  Black Cat, White Cat [1998] [DVD ], this is a must see movie. Perhaps lacking the comic elements of the later movies, it is still recognisably part of the common theme woven by Kusturica.
