Alicia I love this movie so much

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

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.

i_am_bryony I only know of this film because it was on the memory of a 2nd hand mp4 player I bought today. I had a look on here before watching it and saw that a few people were complaining about the lack of plot and poorly developed characters. I can only assume they were either watching a different film or had been brought up on linear Hollywood pap. this is a brilliantly realised film with absurd but very real characters who have found themselves in an absurd but all too likely situation.the plot twists and turns and just when you think you've got a handle on it, it twists again and takes you on another tangent. no opportunity to make a joke is missed and all of them work, some are hilarious. show me another film that has a dwarf running away from a wedding in a tree stump or a man wiping sh*t from himself with a goose and I will buy your popcorn for a year. although this is ostensibly a gangster movie, it is never ugly or cynical and there is warmth and humour here and even a very touching love story, shot beautifully in the sunflowers. i loved every second of it.

Alin Juverdeanu I can't get enough of this movie. It's simply genius. The fact that I live in an (almost) Balkanic country made me understand it better. It shows us the reality of a mixed-up community from Serbia, close to the Bulgarian border, on the Danube. I think it's pretty accurately illustrating the reality of the mid-end 90's in that part of the world, through its characters and action in a very hilarious way. Its soundtrack is very original and it's pointing to the heritage and location of the movie's characters and really sticks to your mind. The action is fast- paced, and the off-action gags(the two cats and mostly the pig eating the Trabant are very original and incredibly funny). It has really made my day and I recommend it to absolutely everyone.

ian_ison There are elements of Shakespeare's 'Taming of the Shrew' in this piece which are cleverly buried beneath the rollicking adventures of this small-time low-life society. Absolutely, these cats outdo the Shakespeare comedy.Everyone is out to use and abuse everybody else and we learn to accept that as Real Life as it was meant to be. The young lovers escape their slavery to family obligations to a happy ending and the shrew also finds true happiness in the least likely place. We get a morality play ending without feeling cheated in the least.There seem to be ethnic subtexts here which would be lost on a non-local audience - such as the Greek name of the local gangster family, the black comedy treatment of the murder of a corrupt guard on the border and the various religious or atheist affiliations. The sex urge seems to be everywhere as are cultural straight-jackets to keep it in check.My favourite scene is when the Matko character is given an enamel mug of the petrol that they've just bought for next to nix from a passing Russian barge with the object of assessing its quality by taste. He spits it out in disgust BECAUSE IT'S WATER! Priceless!
