8/10
Masterpiece? No. Kusturica? Definitely.
22 October 2004
Well, I saw this one today and I quite enjoyed it. It's "more of the same", no doubt about it, but, in this case, more is good. The story is pretty simple and has been explained to death, so I will refrain from telling it, but I'd like to confirm: yes, it has everything. Donkeys, railroads, the war, geese, midgets and music. The impossible love in the rough backdrop. Everything that is so dear to Kusturica appears in this film. It's not a masterpiece, it's pretty below Black Cat, White Car or Arizona Dream (his two masterpieces, IMHO), but it's an enjoyable film and one that will endure in your minds.
