Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Ironically tells a story about Yugoslavian wars, so you probably need to know a little about history before watching it!
I've never seen such a film that shows the horrors of war so hard- hitting and at the same time filled with hilarious absurd comedy. In a film in which there is a triangle love story, first love of a young couple, love between best friends and brothers the greatest bond is between a man and a monkey. I can't believe I haven't heard much about this Palme d'Or winner.
As it is, the 170 min version, is simply not finished. It goes from one scene to another and seems to be missing a LOT of scenes. The movie and the story lack much needed context. Now, I've read that the original movie was supposed to be about 5 hours long and the director had to cut more then 2 hours. How can you expect to still have a comprehensive movie when you have to cut almost half of the content? There's a 5 hour long mini-series which aired in Serbia. I hope that it becomes available because I can truly imagine this to be a masterpiece... if all the pieces are present that is. As it stands now, there's not much else I can tell you, I don't have enough knowledge about it to truly know what the movie is about.
I struggled to explain to my sister why this was my ideal film. I showed it to her, pointed out my favourite moments and still she asked why I chose this film, so my choice might be more personal than I realise. But I'll try again: this exceptional film examines both how we fail as individuals and how we fail as a species, and yet it does so with an embracing enthusiasm for the other aspects of our humanity. The music is stunning, the acting is sublime, the characterizations are fully realised and believable, and the absurdity of what we watch unfold is never truly impossible. We are watching examples of misbehaving human beings and acknowledging, all along the way, that we recognize this behaviour. This film is a metaphor, but it is never detached from what its subject or its message - that history is a curse that comes to certain places at certain times and interrupts the natural flow of whom we could be without the extravagance of either ideology or self-interest.
