Wow, this brought back memories of when I was young in Yugoslavia. This is a touching film that is probably equal to something James L. Brooks would make in America. But this is a bit heavier. It has some powerful scenes where people's lives are on the line. It's also the story of a father and his love affair with his friends woman. There is a great wedding scene at the end which is a staple of Emir Kusturica's work. He loves Wedding scenes. And the film really does touch your heart. The story of this Yugoslavian family and the father and his trouble with women is really great. One stand out scene is when he fights with his wife, and almost strangles her to death. Very powerful!!!
No wonder this film won the major CANNES award in the mid 1980s. Its a foreign film many people fall in love with on their first viewing.
