Kusturica se repite a sí mismo y entrega una alocada comedia sobre el amor, la locura y la guerra.
A superb story is drowned out by Kusturica's zany and chaotic style

Kusturica's warm characters inhabit a world that is both absurd and at the same time strangely akin to our own.

A long version of the film was broadcast on Serbian television in January 2006 (in 6 episodes of 50 minutes).
It is not the best Kusturica's movie but it is a realy plausible mix of comedy, romance and tragedy... not many people can follow the complexity of the events which were chaotic during the Yugoslav war and this movie can sometimes come to the edge...

■César of the Best film of the European Union, 2005
■Golden Globe of the Best European Film, 2005
