Emir Kusturica’s tragic-farce Underground may be the most important film of the last 25 years.

Offers a zany overview of the treacherous path of politics in Yugoslavia leading to the outbreak of civil war in 1992.

Top CriticThe film can be both frenetic and strained. But it also has has a great deal of power and can be quite haunting.

Top CriticSo passionate, so exciting and so very odd at times that most of its obvious faults can be forgiven.

For anyone who's an aficionado of film, this is pure, unadulterated bliss.

It's a snoozer.
