Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Console best movie i've ever seen.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

SnoopyStyle Matko Destanov is a petty hustler living with his son Zare in a riverside shack home in eastern Serbia. He gets double-crossed in a scheme with Dadan and gets into debt to him. Dadan offers a clean slate if Zare marries Dadan's midget sister Afrodita. However neither Zare nor Afrodita like the arranged marriage. Zare is in love with barmaid Ida.It's a wild crazy world reminiscent of Fellini. I do find the story rambling but the movie is full of wild eastern European absurdities. It has a certain ridiculous fun imaginative qualities. It often feels chaotic like a train running off the tracks. I really wish the imagery and ideas can be harnessed in a more controlled story.

ciprianipopica There is one thing when you watch a film, and you have subtitles or you understand the language. But what would you do if you don't have any subtitles or you don't understand a word of what they are talking about in that film ? I guess you will probably stop watching it. Well for me… it didn't happen with this one. That's how I realized how good a film can be. I just couldn't stop watching it. It has a great story, amazing characters, beautifully filmed and sets… and of course… great music that fits perfectly. You must watch it… you won't regret. It's a good inspiration for the young filmmakers, especially if you never attended a film school, you can learn loots from this one. So simple, but at the same time… so much. I just love the European style of filmmaking. I guess films like this one made me want to make my own films.

Tom Browne I must say, I don't understand why so many believe this movie is brilliant and praise Kusturica so much. The movie doesn't even make sense most of the time. The story line is confusing and the characters are very similar to each other which makes it even more difficult to keep up with. There are some funny and well thought episodes, but all in all it is not a good movie I have to say. You kind of wait for something to happen that makes sense and binds the movie together but it never seems to appear, which is kind of annoying when watching a movie.I wonder if people tried to abstract from the fact that it is a movie by Kusturica, would they still think it was a brilliant movie? I doubt it. I have no knowledge of Kusturica or the Balkans which is maybe why I didn't understand all the cultural and humorous attended scenes but that shouldn't really be a criteria for a movie in order to watch it.

marioncap The sublime goofiness of this movie is hard to describe; you really must see it for yourself. But some of its virtues are: it manages to be a classic farce, without ever seeming stylized; it showcases and celebrates the glorious music of the Rroma people in almost every frame, while keeping the convoluted narrative running; it presents even its densest, dopiest, kookiest and weirdest characters as full human beings, not stereotypes; and, not least, it presents a number of farm animals in juicy cameo roles (the car-eating pig ought to get some kind of "Best Performance by a Barnyard Animal" prize). The title characters, for example, appear in almost every crucial scene, and end up making the happy ending possible.Young lovers, lonely hearts, domineering grandparents, stupid con-artists, coke-head gangsters and flocks of geese make up the world of "Black Cat, White Cat," always accompanied by torrents of music. If loony, generous, dark humor appeals to you, you'll love this wonderful, humane, totally delicious movie. Years later, this is still the best movie ever. You will just relish every minute of this crazy, out-of-this-world, humane and delicious masterpiece!
