Matko Destanov is a petty hustler living with his son Zare in a riverside shack home in eastern Serbia. He gets double-crossed in a scheme with Dadan and gets into debt to him. Dadan offers a clean slate if Zare marries Dadan's midget sister Afrodita. However neither Zare nor Afrodita like the arranged marriage. Zare is in love with barmaid Ida.It's a wild crazy world reminiscent of Fellini. I do find the story rambling but the movie is full of wild eastern European absurdities. It has a certain ridiculous fun imaginative qualities. It often feels chaotic like a train running off the tracks. I really wish the imagery and ideas can be harnessed in a more controlled story.

CREEPY-POOPY INSANELY-FUNNY.....ENJOY ITNatural and amazing, Black Cat, White Cat is like 'what the f*n'. Totally creepy, indigestible, weird and stupid, this film is full of entertainment and loudness to laugh. Extraordinary though by director and same goes for his selection of cast, actress and actresses. Most of the time it feels whats going on but soon you get on the track. but not to forget a thing that during the whole time we can enjoy the weirdness present in it. Nothing great in the plot, still its a movie to enjoy for its direction, acting, and yes the people.Just don't know what kept me watching it but boy did i enjoyed. Definitely not the great movie but again definitely special movie. Who needs good faces and lot of make-up.....if you have something to tell, it can be told naturally. Far way ahead of insane artificial monty python's.

I only know of this film because it was on the memory of a 2nd hand mp4 player I bought today. I had a look on here before watching it and saw that a few people were complaining about the lack of plot and poorly developed characters. I can only assume they were either watching a different film or had been brought up on linear Hollywood pap. this is a brilliantly realised film with absurd but very real characters who have found themselves in an absurd but all too likely situation.the plot twists and turns and just when you think you've got a handle on it, it twists again and takes you on another tangent. no opportunity to make a joke is missed and all of them work, some are hilarious. show me another film that has a dwarf running away from a wedding in a tree stump or a man wiping sh*t from himself with a goose and I will buy your popcorn for a year. although this is ostensibly a gangster movie, it is never ugly or cynical and there is warmth and humour here and even a very touching love story, shot beautifully in the sunflowers. i loved every second of it.

I just so happened to find this movie on cable Christmas day. I started to watch it and then went to something else, but came back to it. What a great and funny movie. I watched it all the way through. This movie was all over the place. The characters, the plot, the music. It was just a lot of fun to watch and enjoy. Please don't look for a block buster here. This is the type of movie to watch and enjoy with some chips and dip or some other type of food and just watch to be watching.Trust me, you will not be disappointed at all.The wedding scene was particularly funny - right up until the end of the movie.I want to see this movie from the beginning, because I turned it on in the middle.
