Boom boom boom! Masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2002)

There are enough comments posted to gain an objective view on Kusturica's "Underground". I just want to say how important and epic this film is, beyond the obvious cinematic feats...especially to the Balkans. Its dialogue, its music, its protagonists and antagonists breathe with Balkan humor/ferocity. A classic. Unforgettable and heart-rendering -- but only if you can make a connection, not a movie for the (Western) masses. Even more so, the performances shine and stick in your mind. Ristovksi and Manojlovic especially! And the gypsy orchestra...Kalashnikov...the dreamy, magical realism...the last scenes? Classic! Bravo bratia Srbi!
