Cabaret Balkan Movie Review 1998

Acerbicly cruel and frequently physically brutal comedy is set in Belgrade one winter night and features characters whose stories turn out to be inter-related and are bookended by the comments of sneering nightclub M.C. Boris (Ristanovski). There are betrayals, feuds, random acts of violence, and various absurdities set in a war-torn country where the veneer of civilization has long-since disappeared. Based on the play "Bure Baruta" by Dukovski. Serbo-Croatian with subtitles.
