Audience Reviews for Cabaret Balkan

  • Mar 05, 2014
    Interrelated midnight stories about a bunch of unlikeable Balkan swines unfold simultaneously in the 1998 winner of the FIPRESCI Prize at the Venice Film Festival. A heavy dose of tragedy, black humor, exaggerated drama, jealousy, crime and a rebellious youth rising against the system imposed over a long-time repressed nation explode (sometimes literally) while we are just taken aboard an unusual ride of unpredictable proportions and unbelievable moments featuring the endless, multifaceted idiocy of humankind. It's like a humble mashup of <i>Slacker</i> (1991), <i>Pulp Fiction</i> (1994) and Kusturica's chronological disorder, but with a smaller scope. It never mattered how theatrical or fantastical it began to get; at the end of the day, irrevocably, everything felt very human. 86/100
