## Description

UNDERGROUND (3-disc DVD set) A film by Emir Kusturica This deeply moving and masterful tragic-farce from Emir Kusturica earned the director his second Palme d'Or, securing his place in the filmmaking elite.Marco (Miki Manojlovic) and Blacky (Lazar Ristovsi) are two charming rogues making a living on the black market by stealing arms to sell on to the Partisans. But both men are in love with actress Natalija (Mirjana Jokovic) and, in the chaos of conflict, Marko tries to eliminate his competition by hiding Blacky away in a cellar for 20 years and orchestrating an elaborate charade to convince him that the war is ongoing.This epic tale of friendship, betrayal and romantic entanglement, set against the backdrop of 50 turbulent years of Yugoslavian history from the German invasion of 1941 to its eventual dissolution in the 1990s is available in this set with the five-hour cut for TV.

    For a Bosnian Kusturica has fallen in love with the wide Danube
  

*by B***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 May 2017*

The problem for any critic or reviewer with this storyline is how to pigeonhole the people who have lived underground - who are they?  The answer is they are the refugee diaspora of Yugoslavia from WW2 who have had to live frozen in time.  Today we have more refugee diasporas and they will also live frozen in time from the time they left their country.  Their politics and view of customs will not move on even though their home country has moved on.  This is a modern parable seen through the looking glass darkly.  You would think history cannot repeat itself but it has - there has been a new wave diaspora.  Kusturica has caught this nuance by intertwinning WW2 with the bosnian civil war. They also live underground.  When Kusturica uses past news footage he gives a rare insight to a hidden story which Nazi propaganda buried.  Kustrurica shows the german army entering Maribor, Zagreb and then Belgrade; whereas when he shows Tito's funeral cortege coming to Belgrade he starts in Ljubljana.  The hidden story is that the Wehrmacht suffered a rare defeat on the Slovenian border when invading Yugoslavia - a whole german armed column got wiped out by a yugoslav battey of four artillery pieces commanded by a volksdeucher ( german) officer and therefore the archbishop of Slovenia asked the Italian army to move up from the south thus splitting Slovenia in two and denying the germany army pressganged "volunteers".  Goebbels hide this failure under a blaze of publicity which ignored the failure to "conquer" Slovenia. Kusturica is remarkbly historically accurate when he portrays his heroes gaining their arms off a train.  Today it is takenfor granted that armies have their own transport but in the 1940 s armies relied on trains to move men and materials which usually resulted in a huge logjam after three days, so three days after the german invasion of Yugoslavia many railway sidings had wagons full of military equipment and ammunition. So what about the film?  Fiddler on the roof had a violin playing jew, Kusturica has a brass band played by gypsies.  The most poignant moment was the bombing of the zoo - that animals even caged had to suffer man's inhumanity to man.  American films always have a note saying no animals were hurt in making their film; this film says animals are hurt when man makes war indiscriminately.  For a Bosnian Kusturica has fallen in love with the wide Danube; any of his films without geese look naked.  His heroes/ villains are caricatures of real people albeit one in a thousand because most yugoslavs be they bosnian, croat ,serb or slovene are boringly ordinary - they are quintessential 20 th century people who are peasants.  They have a barbie - but it generally is a suckling pig not some beef burghers.  They enjoy weddings where they dance in a more structured way the kolo or the polka - not for them the shake and vac.  So the film has a wedding although funerals can be funnier. So is this film his masterpiece - I would say it is one of them.  He is a latterday Hitchcock who has not yet landed on his bittersweet genre and his actors require discipline - they tend to overact - or is that deliberate?  One thing in his favour - his films are bright even in the dark so you do not miss the action - and his films are all action - sometimes you long for him to give you respite from his assault on the senses.  It is where he does give you respite - at the bleeding rocks, that the story really turns dark.  Are you bored with me giving this film five stars - you should not be because it deserves them.

    Jugoslavia - the bride in Red
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 September 2007*

I FIND "Underground" the most symbolic movie made by an Eastern European director ever. Long, long time after the film finished I was wondering when, why and how Kusturitza chose to use his most incredibly funny scenario to picture ALL THE DEMONS of the old communist Jugoslavia and Eastern Europe??? Several shots from this movie are still  the unique documents of the time, showing Margaret Tatcher, Leonid Brejnev, Nikolae Chaushesku, Cadaffi , Jimmy Carter, etc. So, not surprisingly the lady in the red dress had to make her choice, so did she...

    Super!
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2013*

Kusturica's film is a randy peepshow, a thorny docu-tangle of real-life horror and magical realist wish fulfillments. It explains how a country destroyed itself from the inside, and it exists to show us how not to repeat these mistakes. The people (and animals) in Kusturica's requiem are perpetually restless—there's an idea here that if they stop moving, they would cease to exist.  "There is no war until a brother kills a brother." That's Yugoslavia's political and philosophical conundrum in a nutshell, but Kusturica intends his humanist masterwork as a time capsule for all nations. When does the party end and war begin? It doesn't have to.
