In this delightful comic fairy tale from the former Republic of Yugoslavia, Emir Kusturica, director of Underground and Arizona Dream, serves up a mix of farce, romance and crime. As main character Matko Destanov, small smuggler and profiteer, likes to say: “Brother, if you can’t solve a problem with money… solve it with a lot of money.”

Black Cat, White Cat, tells us a story about dodgy deals, young love and magic that occurs when gypsy music goes together with gangsters, weddings, gun-running and chaos.

“Astonishing, crazily delightful.’ Chicago Tribune.

“It’s a mad scramble through the Felliniesque realm of Mr. Kusturica’s imagination, and it proves nothing if not this much: give this man the Danube, gypsy musicians and a camera and you’ve got a party.” The New York Times

“Kusturica’s latest film is a real treat for those in search of a healthy dose of laughter set in a culture whose intricacies are rarely captured on film.” James Berardinelli

“Exuberant gypsy gangster farce weaving duplicitous mobsters, tormented lovers, dead godfathers, a wedding and a funeral.” The Guardian
