Hilarious and yet quite touching at the same time
Just two days ago, an evening ahead of an exam, I decided I was going to watch Black cat, white cat for the second time for it had been a long time since I had seen it.Now, even though I remembered large parts and particularly that I had found it a very good movie the first time even, the movie hit me even harder this second time now that I could afford the luxury to look at details with a closer eye.
First off, visually it is one of the strongest movies I have ever seen. The camera-placing is very simple but brilliant for most parts you see the movie as if you were at the place yourself. As mentioned in other comments, the landscape provided gives an extra power to the already wonderful images.
Next to visual beauty, any film who wants to outgrow the average has need of a soundtrack similar to the movie. In Black cat White cat, personally, I think that is the case. Not that I fancy gypsy music particularly, I think that is not even a requirement per se. This type of music was just a must to bring over the lifestyle of Balkan-people, and secondly, it adds a sort a speed that fits with the hyperactive events that take place.
About the acting, there isn't much to say except for it is brilliant. Even the smaller roles don't make the movie fall out of place. This part you would have to make up for yourself, as to me views about acting performances are more subjective than about the storyline or the visual power.
As to conclude, I would very much like to say that, if you call yourself an admirer of the better work of cinema, you got to have seen this movie.
