I remember Tian Zhuangzhuang said that he believed that Kusturica was not a master artist, but an outstanding craftsman. I agree very much.
I think so. You won’t find the master’s obscurity and speculation in Kusturica’s films. He is more like a folk traditional old artist, like Tianqiao’s Gucai opera master, Jingyun Dagu Hebei Bangzi actor, Ma Sanli Gao Yingpei and other cross talk artists. In that way, there is the uproar and enthusiasm of the people, and occasionally a touch of philosophical thought and sadness.
This movie is just like "Black Cat and White Cat". It is a purely Kusturica movie. From the moment of joyous music to the mixed images of flying people, cows, beauties, parachuting, armored cars, nightclubs, wild boars, weddings, etc. The bottom of my heart felt boiling. It's as high as drinking beer and spicy hot pot with friends in the cool late autumn.
This should be regarded as one of the movies I watched this year that made me most happy.
