Emir Kusturica on the red carpet

With the music of the No Smoking Orchestra playing in the background, the team of Life is a Miracle walked up the red carpet for the official screening. With a cigar in his mouth and an actress on each arm - Vesna Trivalic and Natasa Solak - Emir Kusturica was once again presenting a film in competition in the Palais des Festivals, a love story set during the beginning of the Bosnian war. Others joining the Kusturica entourage included actors Slavko Stimac and Vuk Kostic.
