Underground is certainly a unique piece of film-making. It explores history of Yugoslavia from WWII to early 90s.
The film is through its long runtime a surreal fairytale filled with absurd and dreamlike scenes. Because of its unrealistic characters and events the film lacks compassion. Caring for the characters seems impossible regardless of the horrible events they have to go through. The Film is like numb theatrical ride in an another world.
Though the film has some unforgettable scenes. Directing and cinematography are both great and the actors deliver their roles with remarkable passion. I just don't think the comedic script can provide enough laughs about war to be worth it.
