Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: emir is naked Comment: In plain English the producer has nothing to say but manage to drag forever. The movie is pretty close to reality but I dont watch movies to see how close to reality they are. This movie reminded me " Showgirls " where a lot of half-naked chicks run around for no reason at all. Customer Rating: Summary: vhs tape so badly damaged it is unenjoyable. Comment: My copy came today, so bad quality, that lots of time no picture, no nothing. Amazon was selling to me a junk, for 34$ Sorry, bc it is a very good movie, but i learned my lesson. Customer Rating: Summary: So sad my copy came and it has no sound Comment: Well, this is my favorite movie ever and I eraised my order form before I checked out the movie. I am bummed. My copy does not work, it has no sound...grrrr. Just remember to check your copy before you get rid of your order form AND the packaging. It is my fault. Oh well. Customer Rating: Summary: "This is chaos!" Comment: The fastest 129 minutes you will ever spend reading subtitles. I've seen BLACK CAT, WHITE CAT around 10 times now and every time I don't want it to end cause I'm having too much fun. A brief description of the plot would be the adventures of some Gypsy mobsters, a forced wedding and a guy climbing out of the basement of an outhouse and cleaning himself off with a live duck, but really no description can do this film justice cause it is lightning paced madness from beginning to end. The coked out mobster singing and dancing at the wedding is one of the funniest scenes in movie history. I love this movie! Customer Rating: Summary: The Marx Brothers take Gypsy culture! - Put this on DVD!! Comment: There is no way to summarize the plot of this film, except to say it's what you'd get if you dropped the Marx Brothers into Gypsy culture and stirred it all up. It's wild, crazy, and filled with music and dancing and unforgettable characters (played by real actors and actresses, not Hollywood ken-and-barbie dolls). You either like this kind of thing, or you don't. Astoundingly, some don't. Go figure! For me, it's a joy to watch. Us poor American-speaking provincials are fortunate to have "Underground" and - recently - "When Father Was Away on Business" on DVD. PLEASE put "Black Cat, White Cat" on DVD, too!! After "Underground", it's my Kusturica favorite.

For those who associate subtitled foreign films with benign and melancholy costume melodrama, Kusturica gleefully provides viewers with a surreal and poignant comic romp, one that has an unmatched love for life even amidst the ever-present inevitability of death. Few films have managed to effectively capture the energy and spectrum of emotion that life can bring, and here, with a rousing sense of passion and zeal, Kusturica does so with unmatched vivacity. A remarkably visual film, the decayed backdrop of Danube provides the perfect setting for a story concerned with lighthearted crime, and is full of audaciously grotesque and quirky characters. Though their actions and behavior often shatter the barriers of believability and realism, they are never questioned by the viewer because within the context they are entirely justified. Confounded viewers who may view Black Cat, White Cat as narrative chaos following its opening scenes will find that, in this case at least, the payoff is well worth it when the characters and situations all come together in one of the most remarkable wedding receptions ever captured on celluloid. With an inspired soundtrack consisting of high-energy Gypsy music, Kusturica has found the perfect auditory compliment to the film's quirky visual energy. This skillfully maintained energy will undoubtedly leave the viewers walking away with an unmistakable and infectious sense of punch-drunk euphoria. Special Features: o Interactive Menu o Trailer(s)
