Diagonaldi Very well executed

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

cocoscacao So many complex subjects are crammed into this masterpiece. Friendship, love, personal gain, betrayal, politics, beliefs, war, peace, family, the diversity of human nature... And all of that drives the story of this movie. It isn't about neither of these things exactly, it's about how all of those things combine together under oscillating circumstances... It is a movie about our lives. Our lives as different individuals, roles that we play in it, and our life as a society. As I said in the beggining, it's crammed with complex subjects.Many here mention that it describes Balkan region during certain period of history, and while this is partialy true, the characters and the story can be projected to any part of the world. There aren't things here that you won't grasp, just because you aren't a man/woman from Balkans.The ending is especially good, because from my viewpoint, it represents death in a very specific and deep way.Real, surreal, dark, funny, and most importantly, it will remain very relevant, even in distant future.10/10

Andrei R Underground manages to depict the ripping apart of former Yugoslavia in a very unique manner; the drama is reflected in the entire universe of the movie (nature, animals, etc), not only in the stories of the main characters. Happiness, humor, suffering, sadness coexist and they are presented in the unique style of Emir Kusturica.

Michael Kamal Well,I didn't know anything before about the history of Serbia and Yoguslavia and I never thought I would write about Underground ... Until before the last five minutes of the movies. The movie starts with a band playing music and two obviously hyperactive men dancing with the music , which sets the tone for the movie being comedy which is unconventional being a movie set during war. The events continue with a tone of surreal comedy evolving all along with a weak streak of drama which became extremely obvious towards the end concluding a perfect Black Comedy or tragicomedy. I won't talk much about the movie itself, just some random thoughts: Emir Kusturica set most of the underground scenes in a post-apocalyptic theme that reminded me of Jeunet's City of the lost children & Delicatessen. With the movie reaching towards the dark end and Events becoming more tragic , I felt nostalgic to the cheerful music and dancing in the cheerful days of Yoguslavia, So I am thinking about the Serbian people and people who lived during these times they would relate even more and more to the movie of course . and the last scene with the people dancing and singing in a piece of land separating from the rest to be lost in the sea , What a visual masterpiece !! This scene is what made write a review because I was overwhelmed by the greatness of the final scene. A Great movie and a masterful documentation for a tragic era and a lesser known part of the history of Humanity.

markjankovic It is important to bear in mind, this film was partially state funded under the Milosevic regime. Not surprising that Croatian or Bosnians characters are depicted as dumb or violent. As for historic war scenes again, the bias seems to land in portraying non-Serbian factions as the worse. Cannot say I am surprised to see this and it really ruins the films genuine integrity. The writer of the film seems quite dishonest in doing so. The opening scenes of WWII for example, completely demonizes the Croats as fascists while disregarding the anti-Fascists movement that grew. It is perhaps the same argument Serbs make of Hollywood films portraying Serbs as the villain. SO this might be the "counter balance".
