    I've seen four other Elio Petri films (The Tenth Victim, A Quiet Place in the Country, The Working Class Goes to Heaven, and Todo Modo) and each is amazing, just as good as Investigation. I hope you'll watch them at some point.

      Worth noting too that the young Kolka - he of the earworm song - was played by Nikita Mikhalkov who would go on to make some great cinema, such as Burnt by the Sun in 1994. "While still a student, he appeared in Georgiy Daneliya's film Walking the Streets of Moscow (1964) and his brother Andrei Konchalovsky's film Home of the Gentry (1969). He was soon on his way to becoming a star of the Soviet stage and cinema" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikita_Mikhalkov#Early_acting_career).

    Over the 30 years since Underground was released and I started my own journey, living across different European countries, settling for the past 2 decades in London and mysteriously finding myself, for the first time in my life, entangled with a number of British film makers, I have rarely met people who are familiar with this film!
    Those who knew and watched Underground are usually in some way connected to the film industry and also been familiar with the other Kusturica films. Emir Kusturica won the Can Festival’s Best Film Award with his film Times of the Gypsies which was also one of the few films ever made entirely in Romani language. It’s equally surreal, unique and beautifully made. Apart from a handful of professional actors the entire cast is selected from the regular Romani people with no previous acting experience.
    Between those two films Kusturica managed to make yet another unique film, this time while teaching in Hollywood and it’s called Arizona Dream. For this yet another interesting story Kusturica was able to bring together an amazing cast of the best Hollywood actors from Jerry Lewis, Jonny Depp, Liv Tyler to Fey Dunaway. The only person that is doing music for Kusturica’s films is Goran Bregovic but on this occasion Iggy Pop made a significant contribution. Following his collaboration on Arizona Dream Jonny Depp became Kusturica’s close friend to this very day. As a result Depp became also a regular guest in Serbia where not only he give support to future generations of Serbian film makers but he became an honorary citizen of Serbia.
    Former Yugoslavia, ever since the WWII has been one of the most prolific film producers and with AVALA STUDIOS which were at the time in the league with MGM in terms of the production quality, capacity to make epic films such as Cleopatra and the extent to which the government directly funded the film industry, pushed for artistic freedom, different genre, cinematographic quality and new ideas. Some of the most surreal ideas were explored in the Yugoslavian cinema over the years and to this day I am convinced that there’s no country that has such a great and versatile cinema collection and I’m currently watching again Jorgen Leth Perfect Human!
    Also, the first ever film made in Romani language that won also the Academy Award and Golden Globe Award as the best international film in a foreign language is I even met happy Gypsies directed by Alexander Petrovich. It’s been presently studied on one of the film studies degrees at the St Martin’s in London.
    So for those who are not familiar with other Kusturica’s films, apart from Underground I highly recommend:
    Times of Gypsies (in Romani language)
    Arizona Dream (leading Hollywood cast members)
    Director Emir Kusturica
    Music Goran Bregovic

    Ive seen Underground countless times over the last 20 years since I’ve first seen it - I consider Underground the best film ever made and it’s certainly my favourite. The scene when Blacky thinks he heard his son and calls out and calls out for him “Jovo Sine Moj , Jovane” then he sees his sons reflection and falls to his death in the well. It just tears my heart out. This whole movie is so bittersweet because in the end they finally have each other but in death. A metaphor for all Jugoslavs.
    A few more great Yugoslav/ Serbian movies that are unmissable are Who’s Singing Over There, The Dagger, The Hornet, No Man’s Land, Pretty Village Pretty Flame, Black CatWhite Cat, Life is a Miracle, Promise Me This, Time of the Gypsies, St George Shoots the Dragon, The Trap etc

    As an Aussie Serb who lived in Yugoslavia as a child, I'm glad you mentioned "Underground" (funny that I think now of it there might have been a bunker near my apartment building in Belgrade - I remember some tunnels that I went down as a young boy but I don't remember that part clearly). Another cool part was when I returned to Belgrade (or as Serbs call it "Beograd"), I saw the film playing on the TV screen at a friend's 🏠.
    Another Serbian movie you might want to check out is a film I believe is called "Little Village, Little Flame" which is set during the Yugoslavia Wars with a group of Serb soldiers trapped in hostile territory with a dimwitted American journalist and as they spend time under fire, they have flashbacks to their pasts.
    My father watched it on cable TV.
    EDIT: The film's title is "Pretty Village, Pretty Flame". Hope more people look it up, it's a decent film.

    Hallo Kino Corner,
    A really great Mix from Serbia, Italy Japanese....to Hollywood... 😄
    And I really just watched one Title...
    But it's one of my only fourty 5 Star Movies...
    Soy Cuba!
    Absolutely agree with you...
    Such a wonderful Film...
    I allways Search for forgotten Masterpieces too...and there are so so many Films out there...😓
    Especially from East Europe...
    Some of my Favourite unknown Films are:
    __________________________________
    The Commisar 1967, Askoldov
    In fascinating image compositions and metaphors, the film explores the conflict between inhumane cadre politics and unbreakable human dignity.
    The Story of Director Askoldov is a Tragedy, it was his Debut-Film and his only one...
    __________________________________
    Carriage to Vienna 1966, Kachyna
    Magnificent Cinematography, touching and courageous Story. A long forbidden Movie, because it shows German Soldiers humanistic.
    ____________________________________
    The Hill 1965, Lumet
    It is still in my Top 4 of Lumet...😉
    Also under the radar: Prince of the City, 1981
    ___________________________________
    Some more Titles, if necessary with a short reason...
    -The Confession 1970, Costa-Gravas
    - Die Nibelungen 1+2, Fritz Lang
    - Cria Cuervos 1976, Carlos Saura
    - The Land 1969, Chahine
    Forget Cairo, Main Station... The Land is such a Masterpiece. Totally blow me away😍
    - Fehérlófia 1981, Jankovics
    An Animation-Trip u will never forget (Engl. Title: Son of the white Mare)
    - It Happened in Broad Daylight 1958, Vajda...Worth watching alone for Gert Fröbe's (Goldfinger😉) Performance as a Child Murderer
    - Home from Home 2013, Edgar Reitz, Reitz is one of the most unknown Masters... just watch his Filmography on Letterboxd/Imdb...
    - Destination Death 1964, Staudte
    Another forgotten Director from Germany. And the bravest...
    ("The Murderers Are Among Us" is his most famous Work)
    - Dead Man's Letters 1986,Lopushanskiy... Another Russian Masterpiece
    - From What Is Before 2014, Lav Diaz... 5 1/2 Hour-Filipino Masterpiece
    - 4 Months, 3 Weeks... or Beyond The Hills of Cristian Mungiu are two of my modern Favorites, brilliant!
    - The totally unknown Films from Georgia... the directors of this small country created some of the best Works of the USSR... Full of Fantasy, Magical Cinematography...
    Askoldov's Repentance, Shengelaia's Pirosmani, or Parajanov's Films...Just 😍...
    - Family Life 1971, Ken Loach
    4 Years before One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, Loach created this powerful criticism of the mental health system...
    -Pixote 1980, Babenco
    - Le Chat 1971, Granier-Deferre
    - Molière 1978, Mnouchkine
    - Soleil O 1970, Hondo
    - Guy Gilles, absolutely brilliant French Director... an early Malick....
    - I am Twenty 1964, Khutsiyev

    Also good call on Buffalo 66, Vincent Gallo was an interesting cultural figure. That movie was him in microcosm.

    One that gets often overlooked is Time of the Gypsies. It's amazing. To me, Before Night Falls is a masterpiece as is The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Schnabel. Bergman is taken for granted, but imo, Bergman and Kurosawa are the 2 greatest of all time. Prolific and incredible quality. But I also love Kieslowski, especially his trilogy Blue, White and Red. Blue is my fave, but they're all amazing.

      @@papwithanhatchet902 You'd have very few legendary filmmakers agreeing that DV goes ahead of Bergman my friend. Actually, I'd be shocked if you could fine a single one. Spielberg, Kieslowski, Woody Allen, Scorcese, and many others speak of Bergman as the pinnacle. Oh and the Blade Runner film was awful. Unwatchable. I love Dune and Arrival, but his previous films are ok, but not in a league with Bergman. Bergman is a legend for good reason, and just because you find some of his films dull, well, that doesn't carry the weight of the consensus of all-time great filmmakers.

    Thanks for this, definitely will check out some of these films. As an expat Czech I would recommend František Vláčil. his adaptation of the novel Marketa Lazarová is considered by Czech film makers as one of the top Czech films ever made. The cast actually spent nearly a year living in 13th century like conditions. Also his Devils Trap and Valley of the Bees are highly recommended.
    My enjoyable other films were My LIfe as Dog a 1985 Swedish film by Lasse Hallström, and the Russian Films Days of Eclipse and My Friend Ivan Lapshin.
    another noteworthy film is Close to Eden a 1991 film set in inner Mongolia by Nikita Mikhalkov

    Kusturica's Underground is nothing short of a masterpiece and definitely a must-see. Unlike his sobering Le Temps des Gitans, Underground is both charming and often hilarious, with sequences that would've made Fellini proud. I was a bit surprised to see Soy Cuba mentioned, as I thought it was more or less considered a classic.

    I'm shocked to se a western cinephile mention and cover Underground. It's one of our most beloved movies. And Emir Kusturica is our most talented director. I strongly recommend for anyone to catch any of his movies. He usually covers people living on the margin or some extreme bizarre situations. Also some other recommendations is "Pretty Village pretty flame" a dark and disturbing comedy set in the yugoslav wars of the 90, and one of our most emotional movies, that depicts the falling out of brotherly nations. Anything from the pen of Dusan Kovačević, and anything form the Goran Paskaljević. I'm so glad a lot of people are interested in Yugoslavian and Serbian cinematography. We have a saying here that the reason that most of the movies from the Yugo period are great is the fact that they had po pass censorship, and all of the works were cleverly disguised critique of the system.
