Plot: This colorful, fast, and farcical comedy of Gypsy life on the Danube develops a wide cast of larger-than-life characters, built around two octagenarian friends and feuding rivals, Grga and Zarije, and...( read more read more... ) their families. One is boss of the garbage dumps, the other is boss of the cement factories, but both have problems with their offspring. Zarije's good-for-nothing son Matko plans a train heist that will finally bring him respect and wealth but is forced to ask help from Grga. He loses all in a double-cross by his partner, the manic, coke-snorting "businessman-patriot" Dadan, who demands that he pay the debt by marrying off his son Zare to Dadan's headstrong sister, Afrodita. Complicating the plot further, the innocent Zare has fallen for comely barmaid Ida, who soon initiates him into the mysteries of love. Frenetically paced and hilariously funny, Black Cat, White Cat builds to its uproarious climax, the arranged wedding of Zare and Afrodita, through a slapstick sequence of wild chases, exuberant parties, fake deaths, skullduggery, double-crosses, mishaps, and pratfalls. Its cinematography, as rich as the action, includes Fellini-esque scenes of pigs eating cars and the obligatory flocks of geese. The rousing sound track of Gypsy music adds to the folklore and fun. Actor Srdan Todorovic as the wild Dadan returns from director Emir Kusturica's earlier somber work, Underground, accompanied by an excellent cast, including many Gypsy non- professionals, who display an uncanny family resembance. A ribald, buoyant comedy, Black Cat, White Cat will lift your spirits and leave you dancing.

    ¿que me queda decir? Kusturica es un geni, puede manejar ese humor negro con los que pocos captan mi atención, la forma de satirizar la verdadera conducta humana, definitivamente una historia con la que me he divertido de una manera que ´me hizo pasar un excelente cumpleaños... los personajes ubicados en los momentos indicados y la forma que tal vez un poco burda para recordar casablanca. Y sobre la música, una gran banda sonora.

    Si Zivot je cudo (La vie est un miracle) m'avait atrocement déçu, d'autant plus que certains le considéraient comme étant le chef-d'oeuvre par excellence de Kusturica, Black cat, White cat est, pour sa part, un réel succès. S'apparentant presque à mon amour pour Underground, l'enivrement que j'ai ressenti tout au long du film m'a totalement charmé, et je ne peux que rêver lorsque je repense à toutes ces musiques envoûtantes, à ces métaphores visuelles éclatantes qui ne laissent jamais de répit au public, à ces personnages qui nous font tant rire et sourire! Car oui, Black cat, White cat est d'abord et avant tout une comédie, contrairement à l'aspect un tantinet dramatique de Underground, et il est évident que le cinéma serbe prend encore davantage d'ampleur dans mes goûts personnels. Il n'y a plus de doute: Kusturica est un Dieu.
