Trivia
In some scenes of the film, an old woman, clad entirely in black, is seen sitting at the back seat. No one ever talks to her, she plays no part in the film's plot, and she isn't listed in the end credits. Director Slobodan Sijan has allegedly said that she represents death, as well as the tragedy of the upcoming war. However, the film's screenwriter Dusan Kovacevic has said that: ''The old woman in black represents a part of Serbia which is completely isolated. She is an analogy of the old people who were left in some backwater villages by their families. There they live, day-by-day, accepting their fate, with little concern about the events in the world, and have created their own paradox of memory, habits and melancholy.''

Goofs
The bus that makes the center point of the film is a Mercedes-Benz O3500, which did not enter the production until 1949, eight years after the events in film take place.

A must see film.

I watch quite a few non English speaking films and this one certainly has to be in the highest grade.Pointless me telling you about the film as it's already been explained, but I would like to add, this really is one of the most funniest films I have ever seen, it's truly perfect in every way,full of highs and lows.

Wonderful atmosphere throughout the entire film as well as some wonderful characters, the song that runs through the film sung by two gypsies, "Za Beograd" is a wonderful toe tapping tune that was so popular that apparently it was sung and the end of most discos. I saw this film in Belgrade in 2000, I am so glad that I did, believe me when I say, this really is one film you should see before you die.
