Synopsis:
Black Cat White Cat is a riotous mix of farce, romance and crime. Set within a community of gypsies, it tells a story of dodgy deals, family ties, young love and magical occurrences. Zare is a young man in love with the beautiful Ida, but his crooked father, having botched up a black market deal, intends to marry him off to the sister of a powerful gangster - a woman so tiny that her nickname is Ladybird.

a very "happy" film - Black Cat, White Cat review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
13/01/2007

The film is very energetic and funny and full of a zest for life, and just plain mad at times. Yet you still care for the characters, and the story, in all the chaos, does have a direction to it - the director pulls it off brilliantly.

I very much enjoyed it and it also left me in a good mood for the day

Quite insane -- but in a good way. - Black Cat, White Cat review by MS

The other two review said the film was quite crazy, and they're right. The plot -- such as it was -- was rambling and weird, and yet it kept your attention all the way through. The characters were attractive and convincingly human, navigating their way through the mad onrush of events. And the music was wonderful. I didn't expect to even like it -- but I loved it.

Bizarre, hugely enjoyable fabulist romp - Black Cat, White Cat review by MH

Spoiler Alert
18/12/2019

Great characters, a real sense of place and the oddities of life in the Balkans.

Even the occasional overlong episode ends up forming part of a wholly enjoyable patchwork.

A boisterous must-see film, with a must-hear soundtrack.
