I watched this movie at the Vue Cinema as part of the London Film Festival 2016.A delirious "magical realism" that we have come to expect and love from an Emir Kusturica movie. He plays a Serbian milk man in love with a Serbian-Italian beauty played by Monica Bellucci.
We have a vicious clock, snakes that drink milk and wrap around people as a means of delaying them, female gymnastics out of this world and sheep that explode violently - not forgetting a literal blood bath.
The plot gets a bit over-tangled but there is nothing too over-the- top for Kusturica especially when trying to resolve a difficult situation, not even flying!
The backdrop of horrible warfare is almost matter-of-fact to the excessively romantic story that really matters here
This is cinematic anarchy in all its folkloric glory but it works and its highly entertainin
score 10/10
