there's a scene here where the couple are trying to fuck after being reunited, and their son rings his sleepwalking bell, a massive cheeky grin on his face. wonderful.

Very slow. Took me several sittings to get through. It`s alright, but I was left unmoved by the whole thing. Except for the scene where the husband and wife are trying to have sex after reuniting. That scene is pretty amazing.

Kusturica brings his special blend of tragicomedy to a smaller scale with his youngest protagonist. It's as immersive and satisfying as always, I didn't want it to end.

very hard to watch, the story is vaguely carried and the subplots are somewhat redundant. there are surely some alegorical subtexts going on here, otherwise there's just no way to explain that palme d'or.
