Reviews for Underground
I suppose Kusturica can justify the 167-minute length by the historical breadth of the movie, but it simply doesn't sustain one's interest, significant or not.
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.
Feverish, whimsical allegory elevated by moments of brilliant clarity.
The film can be both frenetic and strained. But it also has has a great deal of power and can be quite haunting.
So passionate, so exciting and so very odd at times that most of its obvious faults can be forgiven.
