Casturica never liked a serious face to tell a story, even if the story he told made himself more or less a person in his bones.
In order to get a little more allowance, the mother fabricated the date of birth of the son. The old uncle became drunk, just because he felt that “when he is drunk, he can’t say anything that shouldn’t be said.” The old uncle only sings Mexican love songs, not because of love, but because “Now singing Mexican songs is the best Security."...
Even the main story of the movie carries a certain "absurd sense of humor". The brother-in-law who works in the security bureau accused the other party of "anti-Party behavior" because his brother-in-law had fucked his wife. Put into "labor camps."
But the crazy days are finally over, the days of "red terror" are over, and the uncle goes home. Everyone seemed to have fully recovered their senses. The brother-in-law asked the brother-in-law and sister for forgiveness, but the other party categorically refused.
Because the pain has already been cast, the wound will never heal...

Very interesting film, but because there is no focus, the details are constantly lost when watching, Kusturica let go of his political metaphor and ironic style, and can also shoot such a life-like melody

Reflecting the reality of a certain period of Yugoslavia's history through the experiences of a family, Yugoslavia at that time may be like the Cultural Revolution period in my country. After watching it, I found out that the director is the director of "Black Cat and White Cat" that I watched this morning. If I remember correctly, the director is the director of "Underground", a very famous director in the former Yugoslavia. I should have seen him. a film.
