Ten years away from the first viewing BC/WC remains a film filled with a massive amount of energy and love. For life and humanity.
There’s not a single moment of stillness. The characters carry a never before/after seen exuberance, rhythm and colour. They are designed to the maximum of their extent. Made out of a combination of professional actors and just handpicked human faces, they’re fantastic just to look at.
They’re flawed to some extent, but they all get redeemed in the end.
Remarkable universe.
Black Cat, White Cat sums up all that was awesome about the lawless post-communist Balkans, a depiction of a sort of broken paradise lost.
Classic narratives still work and will always do.
Remarkable universe.
