When Father was Away on Business

If you haven't yet seen this film of Mira's, there are 3 copies of the DVD on Ebay for $7.99US, which is as good a price for it as I've seen. This is one of the few films that Mira did in the former Yugoslavia that is easily available with subtitles.

It's a marvelous film, directed by Emir Kusturica. Kusturica won his first Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1985 for this film, he followed that 10 years later with a win for "Underground". He's one of only 4 directors to have twice won the Palme.
