This extraordinarily dramatic black tragicomedy is an epic tale of love, friendship and betrayal set against the complex historical backdrop of the former Yugoslavia. The story follows two likeable crooks, Marko and Blacky, and Natalia, an actress of easy virtue they are both in love with. A visionary allegory of Balkan vitality, energy, humour and the will to survive. Winner of the 1995 Palme d’Or at Cannes, Underground became one of the smash hits of independent cinema and remains a classic.
