Touch of Genius

Rating: Null/10 (8 March 2001)

You can't say anything against this film. It is one of the best in the history of cinema. It captures the soul and essence of the Balkans and much more than that. It is the first film Emir Kusturicha made after returning to his country past the "american experiment" of his. It is not for everybody and everyone, since it is too politicaly oriented (for some people's point of view - I, on the other hand, think that it is a film about human and feelings, not about politics) and to "Balkan-driven". To fully understand this film you need a good political background and to have some elements of the East in your soul. You just have to watch it. It will move you!
