Max van Power I watched this movie, because it was in the top ten comedies of IMDb. It took me into a world that is absolutely alien to me. So maybe you have to be from Serbia to fully enjoy it. Overall I liked the movie. The story was well paced, the characters convincing and the actors were great. Nevertheless, from the ratings I expected a little bit more. So maybe my expectations were too high. The story is full of twists and ideas that are on the brink of being funny. But I didn't get quite into it. Maybe because I felt more like an outsider than an insider. The film is well worth a watch, but to me it is not the master piece that I expected.

vannoord This is the best movie I have ever seen.I've seen the movie on Dutch television sometime in 1988 (?).That month they were showing a Yugoslavian movie every Sunday night.The next week there was another great movie (involving a train, rather than a bus) the name of which I don't remember. If you know it, please let me know! In any case, how can I get to see this movie again???? A DVD of this movie, where?? Update: that other movie was Zivot Je Lep

vesnicak One of my favourite "domestic" movies. I don't know if there is any person in our country who hasn't seen this movie! It's funny, and sad at some moments...I don't know how did people around the world (who had opportunity to watch it) accept this movie, because you have to know some moments in our serbian history and character of Serbs in the first half of the 20th century, to be able to understand it! But as I see here, there is somebody from Canada who watched it...and he liked it.I think that I'll try to put all good quotes from the movie on this site, but first to find out how to do that...Cheers.

niko. This movie is one of the funniest, saddest and most accurate portrayals of the mentality that seems to have pervaded the Balkans yet again, 45 years after the time depicted. All the usual characters and conflicts are presented with such anger, sadness and love combined that it is impossible to decide whether crying or laughing would be the more appropriate response. The accuracy of portrayal and the timelessness of the types, however, make it for a great film to watch if one wants to understand a little bit of what drove ex-Yugoslavia to its madness. In fact, no diplomat dealing with the region should attempt anything until they saw this movie, and its twin, *Maratonci trce pocasni krug.* Did I mention it is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen?
