With the movies 'Underground' and 'Black Cat, White Cat' Emir Kusturica's reputation as a director with an incredible talent for the surreal and somewhat bizarre is ably shown.

From production company:
"This extraordinarily dramatic black tragicomedy is an epic tale of love, friendship and betrayal set against the complex historical backdrop of the former Yugoslavia. The story follows two likeable crooks - Marko, a charmer who manipulates everyone within his reach, and the foolish but loveable Blacky - and Natalija, an actress of easy virtue with whom they are both in love. The three become embroiled in a world of conflict, self-delusion and deceit - but where there are also moments of tenderness and love - in this visionary allegory of Balkan vitality, energy, humour and the will to survive. Regarded by many as the finest achievement of Emir Kusturica's remarkable career. 'Underground' was awarded the 1995 Palme d'Or, the Cannes Film Festival's highest honour."

'A whirl of carnival imagery... Bristles with energy.'
