A short film by director Jovan Jovanovic. This film is, in more ways than one, true foreplay for Jovanovic’s classic MLAD I ZDRAV KAO RUZA (YOUNG AND HEALTHY AS A ROSE, 1971). DISTINCTLY ME depicts a young misfit, a cool city cat in Belgrade (Serbia, former SFR Yugoslavia) at the end of the 60′s as he fools around – walking with the gun in his pocket, singing with the band, criticizing Communist regime, priests, ordinary people, having some more or less profound conversations with his band mates, running away from cops in his car just for the funk of it, dropping every now and then some funky quotes and speculating on some unusual things. :) For instance – and it’s the moment where he nods at Breton’s and announces Bunuel’s surrealism (THE PHANTOM OF LIBERTY) – he is thinking about how it would be to shoot randomly at the crowd of people passing by. :D There is a myth about this film according to which Martin Scorsese (and/or Paul Schrader) saw it at some film festival in NYC and it inspired him (them) to make TAXI DRIVER.
