He was next hired along with Aleksandar Barišić to co-write a star vehicle for turbo-folk star Dragana Mirković that eventually became 1994's widely panned romantic musical comedy Slatko od snova. However, the financial implosion of the state-owned production studio Avala Film amid galloping inflation in FR Yugoslavia put an end to that project. With his cinematic profile raised, in 1993, Dragojević was set to begin shooting a campy Almodóvaresque project tentatively titled Devedesete (The Nineties) about loyalty, jealousy, infidelity, and intimacy, with the original plan to shoot three separate endings and distribute three versions of the film. What was essentially his FDU graduate thesis project, an irreverent youth comedy set in Belgrade about a geeky teenage girl who gets impregnated by a local playboy, turned out to be a huge hit in FR Yugoslavia and eventually in the rest of the former Yugoslav countries. He briefly came back to poetry in 1995 as an already established film director to release Katkad valja pročitati poneku knjigu da ne ispadnete glupi u društvu.Ĭinematic career Debut and early period ĭragojević made his directorial debut at the age of twenty-nine with 1992's Mi nismo anđeli whose screenplay he had previously written as well. ĭragojević published one more book of poetry Čika kovač potkiva bebu in 1988 before devoting to film.
No young person in sight, completely depressing! I knew I had to change my medium, right then and there. But, all you'd see there were twenty grandmas who probably came inside just to warm up a bit. You know, after the success of my book, the Serbian Writers' Association sent me out to different poetry readings in various Cultural Centers. And to speak to people that prior to that never had any experience with poetry. And it wasn't just any poetry, it was the most refined art, yet it managed to find its way to the ordinary populace - workers and peasants. The stories about thousands of people listening to poetry live both fascinated and inspired me. By his own admission, much of his poetry was inspired by the 1920s Soviet art and poets like Vladimir Mayakovsky: įor me, Soviet art is the artistic pinnacle of the 20th century. In parallel, Dragojević was active in poetry, publishing a book of poems called Knjiga akcione poezije (The Book of Action Poetry) in 1986 and winning the prestigious Branko's Award for it.

In 1987 he started studying film and TV direction at the University of Arts' Faculty of Dramatic Arts (FDU) under the tutelage of Bajo Šaranović and got another degree. He obtained a degree in clinical psychology from the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Philosophy. He also dabbled in journalism, writing for Polet newspaper and Start magazine. In his early youth, Dragojević played guitar in the punk/new wave band TV Moroni.
His father worked for Belgrade-based newspapers Borba and Večernje novosti, including a managerial stint at OOUR Novosti. Born to a journalist father Anđelko Dragojević (1934-2017) hailing from Srbica and a French translator mother Ljiljana, Dragojević described himself as a "child of middle-level communist nomenklatura in Serbia".
