From the second you can go through the triple bar that he has in the center of the city, and thus be able to blurt out his name in a conversation without having to see The Havre (2011) or a man without a past (2002). One of them, ** Corona **, is a simple neighborhood bar with billiards, the other, called Dubrovnik and of forties aesthetic , includes a living room concerts and a movie theater . The third is a night pub and the most striking of them all, since the Coffee Mockba , which opens late in the afternoon, somehow recreates with its decoration the strange universe of the filmmaker.
