... One of the most delightful films I've ever seen, and one of the hardest to describe: It's funny, tragic, filled at one moment with black humor and at the next with disarming naivete and in form and style totally original.

Makavejev's third film, an entrancing collage using excerpts from the first Serbian talkie, a hilariously nave melodrama made in occupied Belgrade in 1942 with film stock stolen from the Germans.

I value Makavejev's extraordinary insights into ordinary affairs and his gentle juggling act with Acrobat Aleksic.

It's a bold and rather winning curiosity: an obscure Balkan footnote to filth 'history, decked out in spangles and annotated with its own footnotes.
