Life Is a Miracle
Why this pick
Kusturica again blends a love story caught in Balkan conflict with exuberant absurdity, roaming animals, music and a deliberately overfull, fable-like visual world.

01
02
Time of the Gypsies
Why this pick
Its aching romance, ecstatic music and everyday magic share On the Milky Road’s mix of earthy comedy, violence and dreamlike imagery.
03
Underground
Why this pick
A sweeping, carnivalesque Balkan tragicomedy that turns war and national memory into an unruly spectacle of brass-band energy, grotesque humour and melancholy.
04
Black Cat, White Cat
Why this pick
For the film’s animal-filled chaos and musical vitality, this is a warmer, more comic Kusturica ride with wildly theatrical characters and buoyant visual invention.
05
The Tiger and the Snow
Why this pick
A whimsical romance set against the Iraq War, balancing broad comic fantasy with sincere grief and devotion in a way that echoes Milky Road’s tonal leaps.
