There is an urban legend in Serbia that, when this film premiered in NYC, way back in it's festival run, that it was seen by some of the movie brats (presumably Spielberg, Scorsese and Paul Schrader who were in jury) who expressed an admiration for the film. The director, Jovan Jovanovic, to this day claims that this movie was an inspiration to Schrader and Scorsese in making "Taxi Driver". He claims to have tried to start a lawsuit over it, but since back then Serbia was behind curtain wall, he says his efforts were ultimately pointless. Film playing at NYC is verifiable, but the rest of this interesting story is up to a debate since the director of "Izrazito ja" is the only source.
