A tragicomic parable of a certain segment of European society, laying bare the complexity, madness and soul of the history, people and character of Yugoslavia. Emir Kusturica’s most celebrated film, earning him his second Cannes Palme d’Or. A powerful tapestry of the post-war history of a Balkan country that no longer exists, Underground is an audience favourite known even to those who haven’t seen it, thanks to Goran Bregović’s sensational soundtrack. Spanning a half-century from WWII to the early 1990s, the film is also notable for its outstanding artistic quality, particularly the performances of Lazar Ristovski and Predrag Manojlović as the unforgettable, inseparable yet separated friends Blacky and Marko.
