Song facts
The song "This is a film" quotes a character from the novel Chevengur by a Russian writer Andrei Platonov: "He would show Zakhar Pavlovich the eyes of a dead fish and say, 'Look-there's wisdom! A fish stands between life and death, so that he's dumb and expressionless. I mean even a calf thinks, but a fish, no. It already knows everything". Kusturica acknowledged this in one of his interviews[2]
The melody of the songs "This is a film" and "In the Deathcar" is a variation of Enrico Macias song "Solenzara".
The melody of "Gypsy Reggae" is a variation of the song "The Streets of Cairo" by James Thornton .
