This movie reflects the history of Yugoslavia since the beginning of WWII (and similar to all ex-communist countries) to the last horrible events in Balcanian countries. Behind the comedy is hidden the pain of whole generations, which have suffered WWII, The Cold War, the war in Yugoslavia, the communism, the treachery of their own leadership, the fall. The film shows us the reality, as seen by those who feel unlimited love for their country and culture. Marko and Blacky represent the true leaders of country, the soul of nation and not without controversies
This movie is a work of art Tyical Kusturica style It's full of energy, full of brilliant ideas. Each scene is a pleasure to watch. It's crazy!! Saw it a few times, I love gypsy music And each time, this movie makes me want to dance and jump everywhere
Love it

Slightly off-topic, and blatantly self-promotional: have you ever checked out this mix I made a while ago? Full of manouche and balkan tunes: http://murk.podomatic.com/entry/2007-10-10T01_34_12-07_00 (for streaming and download. On the main page [ http://murk.podomatic.com/ ] there's also another gipsy set. Both contain songs by Boban Markovic (the orchestra he uses in Underground) and/or Goran Bregovic (his main composer.) )
