Anecdotes :
Emir Kusturica was in the army at the time being. Military officials gave him a special 24h permission to leave Yugoslavia and receive the award in Venice.
The film was initially conceived for yugoslavian television. Title of the film Dolly Bell refers to a stripteaseuse of the Crazy Horse in 1959 italian director Alessandro Blasetti's movie : Europe by Night.
In this film, all the actors speak with their own words, their own real accent. It's the first ever yugoslavian movie where actors don't speak official serbo-croatian (the yugoslav equivalent of BBC english), but the so-called bosnian language, in fact, the language of Sarajevo.
