Black Cat, White Cat Reviews
ReelViews James Berardinelli
With all of the horrible things happening in the corner of the world once known as Yugoslavia, it's a pleasant change-of-pace to discover a comedy that transpires there. New York Times Janet Maslin
It's a mad scramble through the Felliniesque realm of Kusturica's imagination, and it proves nothing if not this much: give this man the Danube, Gypsy musicians and a camera, and you've got a party. San Francisco Chronicle Peter Stack
Bosnian-born writer-director Emir Kusturica makes raucous films so visually dense they overwhelm. But his characters, freakish or treacherous, come up wonderfully human. Combustible Celluloid Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's a highly enjoyable, fast-paced comedy about warring gypsy families who are after both money and true love (isn't that what all comedies are about?). Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten
Black Cat, White Cat is not an example of Kusturica working at his most artful level, but it sure is nice to see that the director maybe has nine lives. TheMovieReport.com Michael Dequina
If you can tap into its twisted vibe, it's a lot of fun. Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum
As with some of Fellini's late works, the energy and inventiveness, not to mention the juicy vulgarity, are so consistent in Black Cat, White Cat that you feel you can slice into the material at almost any point. A colorful, frenetic mixture of slapstick and folklore that stands a good chance of delighting arthouse audiences the world over. Lacking the emotionally charged metaphors that made Underground something more than a virtuoso Saint Vitus dance, Black Cat, White Catis determined to twist every character into an ideogram for vulgar humanity. There's nothing cynical or cold-hearted about Black Cat, White Cat. Like the waves of geese, pigs, goats, dogs and cats that sometimes threaten to overwhelm the human characters, it is recklessly, indescribably alive. Boxoffice Magazine Luisa F. Ribeiro
This latest from writer-director Emir Kusturica eventually grows on one not through its relentless laughs, but by its unexpected sentiment about romance and friendship. Matinee Magazine Chuck Rudolph
A hilarious screwball masterpiece. Filmcritic.com Christopher Null
Often funny, but more often feels like you're missing an inside joke somewhere. Spirituality & Practice Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Salutes the irrepressible energies of love and friendship in hard times. Black Cat, White Cat is a romp, and you either accept it, or you don't. For the most part we did, and happily.
