巴爾幹龐克 Super 8 Stories
By Emir Kusturica
「吉普賽音樂，從某個角度來看，正是我們的藍調。」-- 無煙地帶樂團
所有拿過坎城影展最佳導演獎的電影人裡，吉他彈得最好的，應該是艾彌爾
庫斯杜力卡，畢竟從八零年代開始，他就是南斯拉夫搖滾名團「無煙地帶」
的吉他手，這個樂團融合了吉普賽、爵士樂、搖滾與龐克的音樂元素，
在南斯拉夫掀起一陣熱潮，徹底改變了東歐的音樂語言，在無煙地帶為
庫斯杜力卡的名作《BLACK CAT, WHITE CAT》擔任配樂之後，他們的音樂
受到世人更廣泛的注意，獨特的風格，被稱為「巴爾幹龐克」。
《巴爾幹龐克語錄》敘述了這個樂團的心路歷程、樂手的成長故事，巴爾幹
的狂野、瘋癲、悲苦與喜悅，都記錄在他們的音樂當中。他們追尋著
南斯拉夫的音樂根源，嘗試建構屬於自己的音樂風格，他們曾經在小酒館
廝混，聆聽吉普賽音樂，也曾經走鄉過庄，為婚喪喜慶的場合演奏。影片從
無煙地帶樂團2000年瘋狂成功的歐洲巡迴開始，穿插著演唱會、樂手訪談和
排練、後台閒談的鏡頭。樂手們時而暢談他們的音樂概念，時而彼此
嬉笑打鬧，在非常輕鬆的狀態下，揭示了這個樂團堅持理想風格的一面。
和英國龐克樂手反體制反政府的訴求比較起來，無煙地帶樂團沒有這麼
激進狂怒，但是他們玩世不恭的態度，卻也招惹了不少麻煩。無煙地帶有
一種吉普賽式的幽默辛辣，影片中在樂團演唱以球迷身份懷念足球英雄
佛海托維奇（Asim Ferhatovic）的歌曲中，剪輯了南斯拉夫強人
狄托元帥逝世時「草木含悲、萬民垂淚」的影像，就是個好例子，
曾經經歷過強人政治的台灣觀眾看了，應該都能夠會心一笑。
Super 8 Stories By Emir Kusturica
A documentary which speaks about music, music which speaks
about a world - the wild, mad, dramatic world of the Balkans.
The "No Smoking" Band was founded twenty years ago in former Yugoslavia. No Sooner had the band formed at the beginning of the
eighties than they incited public displeasure on account of their
disrespectful comments on Marshall Titio's demise. Like a travelling
people, however, they have succeeded in withstanding all manner of
political tragedies ever since, without ever once asking anyone for
their protection.
Emir Kusturica has been a band member since 1986,Kusurica's son,
Stribor, joined the band as a drummer in 1994. "No Smoking" created
the music for Kusturica's film "BLACK CAT, WHITE CAT," Since then
the band's irresistible brand of Balkan Punk has found fans all over
the world.
Emir Kusturica: "No Smoking are more than merely a rock'n'roll
band, They are a phenomenon that during the eighties, changed the
intonation and language of music not only in Sarajevo, but also
throughout Yugoslavia. All kinds of different styles of Balkan music
have left their mark on the band's repertoire. It is an explosive
mixture of jazz and gypsy music, in which southern Serb trumpets as
well as the melancholy sound of Asian influences are to be found"
The film sets out in pursuit of the origins of the frantic,
irresistible music some call Balkan Punk. Music that the world has
learned to love in the film of Emir Kustrurica, especially BLACK
CAT, WHITE CAT.
The protagonists of the film are the band No Smoking, formed "when
everything still had to happen." Like a Gypsy caravan, they have
passed through all the tragedies of that region's history without
taking sides.
The film begins on the band's triumphant 2000 tour. We begin to
find out each member of the group. Their stories then interview
and accumulate, as in every film by Emir Kusturica, in an assemblage
of the most varied materials.
