Once upon a time there was a country called Yugoslavia
The strange imaginations in director Kusturica's mind are so fascinating. I watched "Underground" in the 320-minute director's cut. There were four or five times during the film that I thought the movie would end perfectly here, but he could actually keep going.
When revolution is a carnival and history is a scam, poetry rises in the absurdity. The paradise is broken apart, carrying everyone away. The film ends with the noisy jazz brass music that runs through the whole film. Someone outside the screen said, "Once upon a time, there was a country called Yugoslavia."
