ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A COUNTRY
1995 · 2h 50m · Not Rated
Comedy, Drama, War
Directed by
Emir Kusturica
A group of Serbian socialists prepares for the war in a surreal underground filled by parties, tragedies, love and hate.
Top critics, in their words
Delirious in its excess, but never less than ferociously intelligent and operatically emotional, Underground represents one of those rare, exhilarating moments when an outsize artistic vision is fueled by an apparently unlimited budget. Not to be missed.
A triumph of mise en scene mated to a comic vision that keeps topping its own hyperbole.
A rich, vibrant, visually spectacular survey of the changes the place has gone through during the past 50 years.
Kusturica takes us from wacky farce to harrowing grief to lyrical fantasy to bloody horror. To ignore any side of Underground is to do it injustice.
Underground is a bizarre, often repellent anti-war parable that takes forever to state the obvious but hits some scattered high notes on the way.
