Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Miguel Dinis I'm a big fan of Kusturica's work. He his one of the smartest and unexpected filmmakers ever. Of course you have to understand, enjoy and "get in to" his way of telling a story: all the over the top visuals, the kitsch environment and characters, the unusual soundtracks, the "controlled bad taste"; the subtle, amazing details and twists. That is Kusturica! And Black Cat White Cat delivers like no other. The PitBull Terrier song inside the limousine, the nail in the board scene, the toilet paper/goose climax are just outstanding, clever and ingenious ... Kusturica's at his best. Character development ans plot are excellent, delivering balance inside all the madness and bizarre ( a pig eating an Volkswagen Beatle throughout the film is priceless ), always maintaining pace and plot coherence. This is not easy to achieve and Kusturica is the master in pulling it of, using nothing but skill, art, irony, intelligence and... music. Music sets the pace of the film, delivers ups and downs with nothing but chord changes... music is so important in Black Cat White Cat. Please watch this movie. But watch it with an open mind and a joyful heart. If you do so, you are in for a ride of a lifetime!

Alin Juverdeanu I can't get enough of this movie. It's simply genius. The fact that I live in an (almost) Balkanic country made me understand it better. It shows us the reality of a mixed-up community from Serbia, close to the Bulgarian border, on the Danube. I think it's pretty accurately illustrating the reality of the mid-end 90's in that part of the world, through its characters and action in a very hilarious way. Its soundtrack is very original and it's pointing to the heritage and location of the movie's characters and really sticks to your mind. The action is fast- paced, and the off-action gags(the two cats and mostly the pig eating the Trabant are very original and incredibly funny). It has really made my day and I recommend it to absolutely everyone.

Geoff Beveridge Not the Director's best, in terms of gravitas, but it is not supposed to be. (refer Time of the Gypsies, Underground et al) It's a rollicking farce cutting swathes through celluloid in his own inimitable style and flare. The visuals are outstanding, direction masterful, acting great, soundtrack superb. It is a true cinematic artist letting rip like a child in a candy shop. The closest we have ever got to Fellini again, although Kustirica is clearly his own man. The Coen brothers are perhaps one of his few contemporaries.With this film he returns to his one true love: the gypsies of the Balkans, Serbia to be precise, and portrays that culture through his own romantic, humanistic, and gloriously grotesque imagination. It also encapsulates the essence of Balkan humour, evident throughout his films and also to be found in the Vox Pops 'Sarajevo diaries' made by real people trapped in Sarajevo when it was under siege during the war: irreverent, slapstick, poetic, ironic, erotic and more than anything full of the vitality of life -traits he finds most concentrated in gypsy culture.

victorrad_n1 It's one of those films where just about every second provides something of entertainment, particularly something with a degree of light or dark humour. I laughed my head off when all those different things took place during the wedding, especially with the toilet-tumble later in the film; plus every time the focus switched to animal life, you could see a certain pig eating a Trabant!!!! That's a car with a body made almost entirely of cardboard, and a pig doesn't care what it eats. Just make it chewable.The Kusturica-Bregovic duo is spot-on for a person who has a taste of either films, music or both.10 out of 10. Magnificent.
