FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE Who's Singing Over There 

Here comes one of the films that were most requested by you at the Filmkunstbar Fitzcarraldo. On DVD unfortunately difficult to obtain, but a former employee regularly travels to Belgrade and tries on site. Who's Singing Over There (the film by bus) also runs in good quality with English subtitles on youtube. A drunk with a Slibowitz bottle claims the bus driver could drive this route blind. The guests protest not to provoke him! Bets are accepted. He ties a cloth around his eyes and his bus swings down to a pole. Everything falls and staggers, under and over. Then the provocateur with the Slibowitz bottle: "Did you know that he can drive two kilometres backwards?"... The atmosphere of Ko to tamo peva is just as exuberant and over-excited - and in 1941 we are in the Yugoslavian hinterland. There are no roads here. But passengers who act as a cross section of their time: Lovers, policemen, eccentrics, politicians, a hunter with a shotgun... (every character is embodied by real Yugoslavian movie stars!). Something happens again and again that stops the bus. Whether it's a burst tire or a fluttering bridge. But suddenly: A bomb from the Nazi Germans hits. All passengers except one gypsy couple die. The black comedy by Slobodan Sijan was shot in a very short time and on a correspondingly tight budget. In 1980, the year Tito died. A film from Europe? More likely from another universe!
