Staniša (nickname: "Stanko") was born in Upper Zeta (corresponding roughly to the southern half of Cetinje municipality, Montenegro), which at the time was a nominal vassal of the Republic of Venice, under Great Voivode Stefan I Crnojević (r. 1451–1465), Stanko's grandfather.

The title of the film is the name of a young member of the society (portrayed by Stanko Molnar) playing fatal role in Fulvio's life, which is derived from the first words of La Marseillaise.
Born in the small village of Cerovec in Lower Styria, Austrian Empire (today in Slovenia), Stanko Vraz was one of the most important figures of the Illyrian Movement in the Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia.
Stanko was convicted, after a failed insanity defense, of strangling his girlfriend Laura Ling, 43, the librarian who lived with him outside Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, shooting Henry Lee Turner, 74, and sexually assaulting and stabbing Ling's teenage daughter, who survived and made the 911 call for help.
The JazzTimes review by Lloyd Sachs said "What makes Wisława (pronounced vees-WAH-vah) striking is Stanko’s ability to push into a more assertive, wide-awake style, rhythmically as well as melodically, without sacrificing the dark-glowing, middle-of-the-night emotion for which he’s known".
