Crna macka, beli macor (Black Cat, White Cat) poster & wallpaper

Bajram Severdzan, Branka Katic, Florijan Ajdini

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.

    Pretty scenes of the lives of gypsies on the banks of the Danube. More quirky Yugoslavian culture from Kusturica.

    Pure, unadulterated entertainment from start to finish. The wonderfully idiosyncratic script is full of oddball characters and comedic set pieces that will have you laughing out loud. If you are look for a fun and carefree film then look no further.

    Full review to follow.

    Interesting movie with some good musical and comedic scenes. It reminded me a bit of Jodorowsky. Check it out.

    Although I'm against heterosexism, marriage in general, and "love conquers all" stories, I really liked this movie a lot. Maybe it was mostly because it was about Rom, or maybe just because it was a great movie.
