    Totally surreal tale of two brothers' resistance against the German occupation of Yugoslavia. They form an underground society to help the communist effort by producing weapons. This is an epic film that covers 50 years in three hours as the crazy Serbs continue their fight again...( read more)st the fascist foe right up to the civil war.

    A materpiece for true lovers of cinema. Set pieces, characters & scenarios reminded me of a Jeunet film. The synopsis in here pretty much sums it up.

    During World War 2, a pair of friends in the Serb resistance hide in an intricate cellar. Years later, the war is over but the lies and deceptions continue.A surreal, absurd mix of politics, sex, fantasty, black comedy.
    So passionate, so exciting and so very odd at times. One of...( read more) the great moviegoing experiences a work of staggering sadness and vitality but also and comic invention. Original music by composer Goran Bregovic, who incorporates a collage of Eastern European sounds and traditions in an explosive, manic triumph. Winner of the award for Best Film at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival!!!

    Not as good as I was expecting, the first minutes were awesome, then the characters became very annoying and disgusting I just wanted them to suddenly disappear or something. On the last half the characters suddenly turned into something more digestable for me, but I was already ...( read more)bored by them. The premise is REALLY good, but the characters kept the movie from being a masterpiece. I know, the characters have to be disgusting in a black comedy, but they were so cartoonish and annoying that I didn't laugh once... The ending was weird but really good, though.
