“Underground is The Film, my favorite… And nobody hasnu0026#39;t written any greeting comments in 2005. So, Iu0026#39;m happy to be the first and I wish the best year 2005 to all the Undergroundu0026#39;s fans. If you never had this chance to see the long version (5 hours) of the film, give your priority, this year, to watch it. After this, the Palme du0026#39;Or version will feel you so short!!! If you live in Paris, I can help you to discover the complete Chef du0026#39;Oeuvre.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTherefore, I understand that the film could be criticized on the political depths. But it is so easy to make movies without any involvement. Kusturica worked for 3 years on the film and involved himself on the content. But the film treatment is not only about Balkans war, but mainly about human ferocity and betrayment. Speaking Cinema, there is no film controlling so well aestheticism, scenario, actors, music and creativity. Emir did it and I am sorry that some arrogant journalists killed the film, getting it off the Cinema theaters without the popular success that Underground deserved.”
