If this movie happens to cross your path, seriously—do not skip it. Diana is basically the hottest documentary hitting the underground market right now!
It popped up on "underground.com" recently, and even though I was a little hesitant to download it at first, man, I have zero regrets... actually, it was worth every second.

The film is packed with scenes that seem hilarious at first glance. You might find yourself feeling bad for the people involved, but honestly—when you see how carefree they are—it kind of hits you that maybe we all need a little more of that vibe just to be happy...

A few details about the film:

The world's first Gypsy stunt-eco documentary tragicomedy. How and why are Roma families displaced from Mexico living in the outskirts of Belgrade recycling legendary Spaček and Diana cars? These classic vehicles are stripped down with basic hand tools and instantly transformed into futuristic recycling machines: everything gets taken apart, everything gets modified—as long as there's work to do and a little style. It follows the daily lives of four Roma families living in a makeshift cardboard settlement right across from a massive cathedral under construction. They scrape by by recycling cardboard and bottles using their "Dianas," tapping into those car batteries to get enough power for lights, the TV, the radio, and charging cell phones. But to the local police, these odd little rigs aren't always seen as friendly...

Yeah, killer documentary. If I recall correctly, it played at SXSW in Austin last year.

The best part: when they explain why Alcatel phones are actually the best. 😁

there's tons of idiots out there—honestly, I love this one:
-"I take my kid to school. Only thing is, I don't know why I even bother.
Every day I hand him fifty bucks and... nothing.
He gets there, grabs a pastry and some milk... barely any milk, really.
Then he comes home—still starving.
So why am I even taking him to school?"

Every day I give him fifty bucks and... nothing.
He gets there, grabs a bagel and some milk... barely any milk, honestly.
Then he comes home—still starving.
So why am I even bothering with school?"

What are you even talking about?

Mitic... wait, are we talking about a musician? That electric guitar virtuoso guy? I think his name is Boris Mitic, right? 🤔

Why isn't the movie titled Beautiful Diana?
I think it’s excellent..
The scene where they wreck the car to Michael Jackson is great, as is how they set him up 🙏.
And that part with the Alcatel is 🤣

Keith Jones19, if I remember correctly, you could have caught that at the Sundance Film Festival last year.

Yeah... exactly.

We actually screened it last summer out in a suburb of Chicago during one of those local community film festivals. It was part of a series focusing on human rights documentaries and stuff like that, and we were just running it straight off a DVD.

I'm honestly pretty bummed that I didn't have the time to sit down and make a backup of the film. I guess I just let the clock run out on me. 😬

EDIT:

I swear, I can't believe you guys moved this thread over to the Film section. Seriously?

I was going to rename this thread, but then I realized there isn't a single mod bar anywhere on my screen... I mean, seriously, WTF??? 🙂

It’s just one of those things where they move everything out of my jurisdiction. I guess that's just how they play it. 😂

Man, I can't believe you guys moved this thread to the Film section already.

I went to rename the topic and realized my mod bar was totally gone... I was like, WTF??? 🙂

Turns out it’s been moved way out of my jurisdiction. 😂

Wait, what's your deal, Adam Wright56?
I started the thread right here... are you drunk? 😁

Wait, what??? 😕 Wasn't there a whole discussion about this on the television network...🤔

Must be losing it...😵...I guess those finals messed with my head way more than I realized. 😬
