Astonishing, crazily delightful.

A warm embrace of tradition and boisterous, ethnographically rich local culture.

It romps along with infectious good humor but continually imparts a sense that underneath all the surreal frivolity lurks a scathing allegory of modern-day Balkan troubles.

One frenetic movie that doesn't know when to quit -- and leaves you wishing it could go on forever.

The perfect film for anyone who finds the Keystone Cops a little too understated and I mean that as a compliment.

An explosive experience...and you have to love the movie's rabid energy and lust.

Kusturica works marvels with his endlessly amusing cast, and his film has an appealingly free and easy tone.

Kusturica's always masterful orchestration of chaos, coincidence and caricature really pays off as a sweet, soulful celebration of old friends, new loves and the mad scramble of life at the fringe.
