A brilliant film that helped define a genre

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

What a nice picture from Croatia. I was laughing through all the stages with some sort of bitterness all along. It's a story about a village where the same people are feeding chickens, do all sorts of work in their modest community and at the same time are providing radio programs for the locals. Communist try to ban their shows for the simple reasons they want to gain control, even though the programs are just about what's happening on the other side of the street. Live musicians and singers play their songs just outside the radio station's window because they can't fit in the small room where the program is aired. Humanly touching and really hilarious.
