I was driving through Mexico and picked up some DVDs for about $7 a pop. Each one had six movies, and one even featured the new Emir Kusturica flick, Covenant. It’s basically a family affair at this point since that name pops up in the credits constantly. Even his son, Stribor Kusturica, plays one of those square-faced grandkids—not sure if he's a junior or a senior.
He also handled the score, which is solid, sometimes even incredible!
The movie gets 5 stars from me—whatever the highest rating is for a top-tier masterpiece, that's what it gets. 5/5. 😁
Everything about it hits the mark!!!
I'm still buzzing from watching it, so I'll write something longer once I settle down.

Maybe Emir Kusturica doesn't release his films in America because we just get him better than anyone else.😍

Great movie. I'm pretty sure my son actually composed the score...

Is "music" even different from "composition"? 😛
Which son of those two blockheads—the Trifunos—is he talking about?
And that flying guy? You could write a whole book on him.
It’s probably for the best that the film only shows their dream regarding the Romani people.
Actually,
it’s just their dream for everyone.
And it only comes true for some...
Dreams and fears are basically the same thing.
Man, music always gets me so hyped I miss the small details.
Doesn't matter, though. I'll probably watch this ten times.
After watching, I feel just like I did when I used to watch Bruce Lee.
I almost feel like I can do it too!!!!!!
Fly high!!!
Wooooo-hoooooo!!!!

Nobody acts better than him.
Props to Uroš. He actually looks a bit like Russell Crowe, right?

That guy has five other movies out:
Spirit of Sarajevo, Armin, It's Hard Being Nice, Trap, and The Search
which is honestly kind of blasphemy!
The first three are lifeless and pathetic. Trap is an interesting story, and The Search is decent halfway through...
Nemanja, man, nobody here is on your level yet.

Stribor Kusturica is actually the older brother of the Krivokapić brothers.
Anyway, I wasn't really feeling this movie. To me, the plot felt a bit thin and the character development was just too naive—it didn't quite land for me—plus, Emir Kusturica leans way too hard into those slapstick, burlesque elements.

To whole thing feels like nothing more than surface-level burlesque to me.
The characters are just there for show,
and the dialogue lacks any real depth,
plus the plot feels like it’s just hitting symbolic notes.
Kinda like Inglourious Basterds.
Sure, he skips the wedding bells and the heavy drama, but that's just his style.
Even if Brega is making bank off it.
It hooked me instantly on the first watch, but now I'm having to rewatch it just to shake off that initial grip.
I need to figure out
if I'm just unrefined or just plain stupid.😁
