Absolutely Wonderful!

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2000)

I'm hardly a knowledgeable film critic, and I can't really add much that hasn't been pointed out by other viewers about this film, but I can say that it's the first film I've seen that's compelled me to leave a comment here on IMDB.
Take that for whatever it's worth.
The story, writing, acting, cinematography, and ESPECIALLY the music - all top notch! "Underground" is one of those rare films that manages to express its sentiments without resorting to shameless button-pushing. Our Balkan friends can rest assured that it's definitely a film that can strike a chord with American audiences. "Time of the Gypsies" is the only other Kusturica film I've had the pleasure of seeing; I'll make it a priority to seek out his others.
