  "Zavet" (Завет, "the testament") or English title "Promise Me This" is a bizarre comedy written and directed by the award-winning filmmaker Emir Kusturica. [img]http://bt.eutorrents.me/imagehost/images/zavet.jpg[/img] Set in the picturesque mountain of Zlatibor, the story of an old man named Zivojin Marković (Aleksandar Berček), and his grandson Cane (Uros Milovanović) was touching to a degree... actually the touching part was lost in the very different humour Kusturica serves us this time. I love his movies, and this one deserved to be in Cannes, but I admit that this was probably his weakest film ever. Of course, his weakest is still ahead of the rest. The cartoonish abilities of the main characters were fun to watch and there was a lot of action, and acting of the well known faces from previous Kusturica's movies, was as usual - excellent. You will laugh, and cover your ears from time to time, listening to the combination of the hectic music and automatic weapon shooting, while following a young boy going to a nearby town where he is supposed to meet up with his grandfather's stepbrother, who is dead. The story follows him meeting this man's two grandsons, two good-natured brothers who are nevertheless small-time criminals and experts in demolition... Our hero clicks with these men, and also falls in love with a schoolgirl (Jasna, played by Marija Petronijević), who he wants to marry as part of his testament with his grandfather (the other parts of the testament are to bring back an icon and a souvenir, which he should buy with the money he gets from selling the cow). Girl's mother is in trouble, and the young hero rescues her and her daughter from a criminal called Bajo (Miki Manojlović)... If you love absurd entertainment - this is not a bad one to check out!
