Emir Kusturica pushed his whimsical comic fantasy style to new, manic heights in this frantic, frequently hilarious fable of Gypsy life, mob debts, arranged marriage and true romance. Gorgeously shot by cinematographer Thierry Arbogast, this vibrant, joyfully excessive film won Kusturica Best Director honors at the Venice Film Festival. "...a reckless, explosive production that does everything the movies have forgotten how to do... it's thrilling to see something this profane, mythic and, most of all, not bored with life, love and the possibilities of cinema" (Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com). In Serbo-Croatian and Romany, with English subtitles. Emir Kusturica---France/Germany---1998---129 mins.

Kusturica's beautifully modulated tale of a young man's entry into adulthood, his loss of virginity in the company of a B-movie stripper and prostitute. Set in the early 60s, Kusturica grafts the pathos of the Eastern European village movie into a complex tale of intrusive cultures, when Western influences such as fashion and rock and roll and the promise of European socialism threatened to roll over traditional customs, practiced rituals and Tito's political reign. With Slavo Stimac, Slobodan Aligrudic and Ljiljana Blagojevic. In Serbo-Croatian with English subtitles. Emir Kusturica---Yugoslavia---1981---106 mins.

Widely considered to be his masterpiece, this one-of-a-kind epic from Emir Kusturica portrays the downfall of Yugoslavia in a unique blend of satire and heartfelt sentiment, shifting from moments of great humor to reflective sadness and emerging as a celebration of sorts. The story follows two friends who reinvent their personal and political existences to the point of absurdity as they witness the massive changes their country goes through from World War II to its violent division and civil war. "Delirious in its excess, but never less than ferociously intelligent and operatically emotional, Underground represents one of those rare, exhilarating moments when an outsize artistic vision is fueled by an apparently unlimited budget. Not to be missed" (Dave Kehr, New York Daily News). Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival. In Serbian and German with English subtitles. Emir Kusturica---France/Germany/Hungary---1995---167 mins.
