Black Cat, White Cat (1998)

A hilarious comedy from the director of `Life is a Miracle`, Emir Kusturica`s `Black Cat White Cat` is a riotous mix of farce, romance and crime. Set within a community of gypsies, it tells a story of dodgy deals, family ties, young love and magical occurrences. Zare is a young man in love with the beautiful Ida, but his crooked father, having botched up a black market deal, intends to marry him off to the sister of a powerful gangster - a woman so tiny that her nickname is Ladybird. Set on the banks of the Danube, this colourful comedy is crammed with spectacle, incident and the music of Emir Kusturica`s famous travelling gypsy band. Serbo-Croat dialogue with English subtitles.
