    Una belleza! Los simbolos de Kustu nuevamente recorren la pantalla de una manera surreal, fantastica y emotiva. Es una historia fascinante y como siempre las actuaciones son totalmente magistrales como la de Miki Manojlovic (Marko Dren en Underground) y la del protagonista Uros M...( read more)ilovanovic, quien ya habĂ­a trabajado con Kustu en el corto Blue Gypsy (All the Invisible Children).

Someone has made a terrible mistake for lying Kusturica that he has written a funny storyline.

    I love Kusturica! The universe he plays in are totally original. Thumbs up for craziness and Bosnien loonesy. I was entertained and I laughed at the corny jokes. I promise you this!
