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

A sprawling, rowdy, vital film laced with both outrageous absurdist dark humor and unspeakable pain, suffering and injustice.

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.

One of the most ribald, risky and madcap war movies ever filmed.

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