I was so excited to see you highlight Underground. I saw it when it was first released in cinemas, and the images and emotions and dark humor burned themselves into my brain. I love movies, but this was an experience I'll never forget. It doesn't seem to hold my friends' attentions.
@@mariuspoppFM The original movie, which you can still find, is over SIX HOURS LONG, and yes, it is a masterpiece. Length is never an issue when it comes to classic movies. One of the best movies of all time is the Russian/Soviet movie based on the legendary book of the same name, War and Peace, it is 7-8 hours long.
I watched "The Man Who Stole the Sun" for the first time a couple of years ago, and I can truly say it is one of my favorite films. Fun fact about the film: the car chase was actually illegally shot, with several members of the production being arrested for using their vehicles to block the entrance ramps of the highway.
That also happened in The French Connection (1971), the director wanted the reactions of pedestrians and other drivers to be authentic, a car crash during the scene was actually just someone trying to get to work when they were forced to evade the movie cars, the director stated 40 years later that he regretted putting people in danger.
That happened a lot in Hong Kong in the 70s and 80s. I was working in the police at the time and we were always coming across film makers controlling roads for filming. Once, when off duty, I pulled up at a police roadblock along Clearwater Bay Road to ask what was going on before noticing the film cameras. Wonder if i made the final cut😂
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
@@frankkkbard0n315 hey, maybe because it’s The Underground? 😂😂😂 I have no clue and before I check it out I just thought I may as well go ahead with horrendous literacy skills….I’m not sure was I written again without glasses or there’s another component to it. The underground is a specific cellar underneath Marko’s house that he adapted into living and working quarters for a group of people who kept manufacturing product for whatever market…..so should there be article The or not? Logic doesn’t help with English spelling
@@irish66 okay. That’s pretty high, I would say! The actors are absolutely fantastic but that might be a bit lost in translation. Perhaps the Times of Gypsies also by Kusturica is better quality…..also, the film represents different things to us who end up being a collateral damage…. Thanks for your comment 🙏🏼
I saw Underground for the first time this year and it is absolutely one of my favorites of all time. It’s hilarious, beautiful, the music is just so infectious and has two of my favorite characters in Marko and Blacky. There’s almost nothing quite like it.
@@DejanKeepingitReal He made Black Cat White Cat because he was so pissed off about all the backlash against Underground. He said he will only do lighthearted and meaningless movies from now on. XD
Obscure? This list literally has Speed, Easy Rider and Apocalypse Now. Great list of movies, but obscure? Only if you're very new to film and also 2 months old.
Underground is a simbolic summary of socialism. I was born under socialism in Eastern Europe, although not in Yugoslavia, and had the feeling this is a movie about my childhood when I saw it.
I watched WALKING THE STREETS OF MOSCOW back in January just because of your Letterboxd review. I'd never heard of it, or its filmmaker before. But it was good. Definitely worth seeing, so I'm glad you've included it here for others to discover. I'm embarrassed to say that the only other films in this video that I've seen are UNDERGROUND, SOY CUBA, INVESTIGATION OF A CITIZEN..., and OVERLORD. Keep up the great work, Kino!
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).
i would definitely recommend another georgian filmmaker , his surname sounds look alike , Eldar Shengelaia , i would recommend his "Blue Mountains, or Unbelievable Story" u can watch it legally on youtube , with english subtitles. if you would like to see absolute brilliance of georgian filmmaking , it's a hard go for!
Two recommendations: WHEN FATHER WAS AWAY ON BUSINESS from Yugoslavia, made while Yugoslavia still existed, and Petri's masterpiece, THE WORKING CLASS GOES TO HEAVEN.
They all seem like films people pretend to really like just to seem 'clever' , but they really don't like them that much, they just like feeling clever.
Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion is such a great film, one of my favorites! I saw it earlier this year for the first time when I was binging a lot of Italian films, and that one stands out. I'm so thankful that you promote it. 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. I look forward to exploring these films, especially The Tribe and Overlord. Please make more videos like these!
Mate, I've added every one of these to my watchlist. They all look amazing. In particular I'm most excited to watch your top 4. Really appreciate the video.
Being romanian I saw underground when I was 14. It changed my perception of movies. Also Black Cat White Cat from Emir Kusturica. AMAZING. If you're from the balkans you feel that movie. It ooozes balkan culture, humour and everything.
Saw Overlord a while back, can absolutely vouch for it deserving a place in this list. Thanks for posting this up, I'll take time to go check out the others!
My top 10 in no order would be Strangers On A Train 1951, Blow Up 1966, The Driver 1978, The Shining 1980, Kiss Me Deadly 1955, Tower Of London 1939, Blow Out 1981, Winter Kills 1979, The Dark Corner 1946, and The Parallax View 1974. These are my favorite that I watch over and over.
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
I once rented a video copy of Deep Cover to Leonardo DiCaprio many years ago while he was in Australia for rehearsals for Romeo + Juliet. He came into the tiny, video shop in the middle of Sydney's red-light area at around 11pm on rollerblades. He was the only person in the small video shop and we talked for a good hour about films. His knowledge of film was very impressive. He skated around behind the counter and sat on a milk crate and read the blurb about Deep Cover on its box. A couple of people came into the shop and rented some videos. They saw Leo sitting on the milk crate and I could see what was going through their heads: "He looks a lot like Leonardo DiCaprio. But it couldn't be!" We talked about The Quick & the Dead which he had just finished shooting with Russell Crowe. After a while he skated away into the night with the copy of Deep Cover. I forgot to check it out to him or take any money. Something I had trouble explaining to the boss the next day! Great film.

I saw Underground on Netflix some time back, and thought it was the greatest movie ever made. Yes, I have seen Citizen Kane, Bicycle Thieves, and Plan 9 from Outer Space.
I’m always curious to see how much of a film buff I am by watching lists like this and seeing how many I’ve actually seen… without failure I’m always at a 2/10 lol thanks for all the great suggestions!
All the movies I have got from internet reviewers so far have been known to me one way or other. This till I stumbled on your video. I'm surprised that I do not know even single movie mentioned here, and your synopsis helps it too. It is such a breath of fresh air. I plan to watch atleast one if not many.
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 ___________________________________ Aaaaaaand Finish 😂 Sorry for the long Text and my English 😋 Greetings from Bavaria 🤗 Really great, great Content! Love videos like this! 👏
Buffalo 66 is Gold - watched it three times over the last 6 years. BTW - it might be nice if you include the year in your suggestions to facilitate searching - as some of the titles have been made several times and it is quicker to get the right one - THX
Please keep sharing these great but not widely known films. I may be crazy but I have watch Satantango several times now, the cinematography is out of this world!
Very VERY good list. Underground is one of the last film under Yugoslavia banner before the country was fragmented in several countries, i saw it at the movies, very poetic. Soy Cuba was also known for the longest sequence shot and the special B&W film treatment, saw it in spanish, there are some french actors in it. Investigation… is a masterpiece in so many levels (Gian Maria Volonté was in his golden area, music from Ennio Morricone, the Kafka effect…)! The tribe is unique! Thanks for your video, i'll be looking for some of those movies👍
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.
I actually think the greatest filmmaker is still alive. Denis Villeneuve hasn’t made a bad film yet. Don’t get me wrong, Kurosawa and Bergman are favorites of mine like so many film buffs but AK made several dogs and IB made many, many dull films.
@@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.
Was very great to hear about I Walk In Moscow. I live in post soviet country,and this is big here. People who loved this film for the first time were as main characters age. Now they are 50-60 and they still watch it
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.
Underground turned a lot of people in Mexico to Balkan folk music. As a matter of fact, Kusturica and the No Smoking Gang just played here last week, on their Farewell Tour.
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.
Socialism is evil, socialists are just as sinister as pedophiles and rapists and I refuse to watch socialist propaganda, if your a socialist your devoid of a soul and inhuman, I despise socialism...
@@sextempiric7137 Dirty socialist, your an abomination against god, your an insult to everything good and moral in the world.. I pity you, I couldn't imagine being so morally bankrupt to be a soulless socialist fiend
Underground is my obscure film I recommend to everyone. I have never seen ore met anyone who knows this movie except my best friend and her Croatian family who recommended it to us. Definitely going to check out the rest of the movies on this list.
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.
It has won Cannes fest. in 1995, it's a pretty well known movie ( for cinephiles ). I remember renting it and La Haine - another Cannes prize winning movie in 95 - in VHS ( !! ) at my local "vidéoclub" in Montréal when I was 16.
Hi, I've never seen your channel pop up before. I'm in Scotland and came originally from NZ. This list looks amazing! I'll definitely check them out and let you know. Cheers, Greg
The Tribe was AMAZING! It was definitely an experience and a truly unique storytelling. I was surprised at how I understood what was happening without understanding what was happening. Fantastic film!
Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion was a favorite of my father. He saw it in a double bill with Five Easy Pieces when they were released. I’ve never seen it but you’ve just reminded me that I probably should. Also good call on Buffalo 66, Vincent Gallo was an interesting cultural figure. That movie was him in microcosm.
I certainly enjoyed this cinematic analysis you put together. A job well done indeed. I would like to thank you for all of the time and energy it took for you to make this content. Keep up the good work.
First time on this channel. Will check out most of your recomendations. Thank you for the presentation, I get the sense that you care a lot. So keep at it!
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
Marketa Lazarova is one of the greatest films ever made, imo, and I quite like Valley of the Bees. I own several Czech films I’m sure you’ve seen “All My Good Countrymen”, by Vojtek Jasny and “Romeo, Julie a tma”, by Jirí Weiss are among my favorites.
Some great suggestions here, thanks! I saw Kin Dza Dza go past in the Soviet directors montage - not sure if you've covered it before, but it's definitely one I'd recommend for the stranger side of Soviet cinema
I think you should make a video of Latin American cinema, because it has a very unique filmography that is filled with social criticism and a glimpse of hope. Also I’m from Colombia 🇨🇴 and I have seen a lot of great movies like la estrategia del caracol, pequeñas voces, cóndores no mueren todos los días etcétera
Thank you. Great list. I do not even consider most Hollywood movies to be real cinema. They are movies, not films. Many of the people who are featured in them are not actors, they are movie stars
Deep Cover became one of my all-time favorites, when I first watched it in a theater in the early 1990s. I read about The Last Movie in a book titled, "The Fifty Worst Films of All Time," which was published in the late 1970s. I didn't know some of these others. I'll check them out, wherever I can find them.
One of my favorite genres is dark comedy. Here are 10 amazing and underrated ones a lot more people should see. I was actually planning on adding Investigation of A Citizen Above Suspicion until I saw that you also included it in your video: 1) The Heartbreak Kid (1972) 2) In The Company of Men (1997) 3) River's Edge (1986) 4) Heavy Traffic (1973) 5) Little Murders (1971) 6) Prizzi's Honor (1985) 7) The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover (1989) 8) The Opposite of Sex (1998) 9) Unfaithfully Yours (1948) 10) Divorce, Italian Style (1961)

Underground is unforgetable for its strong metaphors and its vibrant music. I am glad that you mentioned "The Tribe", a very realistic and disturbing film which is among the most intense viewing experience I've had...with "Come and See" by Klimov.
Before this video I've only seen Soy Cuba. After a year, I watched Underground, The Man who Stole the Sun and Investigation of A Citizen Under Suspicion. Instantly, all of these became one of the best films I've ever seen. I am revisiting this video to watch another recommendations! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this - it's so rare for me to come across film lists that include films and directors/writers I've genuinely never heard of, especially in a world where most of TH-cam & Twitter etc. consider "The Godfather" to be a "cult film" 🤣 I have a few of these movies that you've mentioned, but the rest are going on my "to be investigated" list, thanks again!
A brilliant and ecclectic collection. Thank you. One omission that would fit well into this selection is the 1989 Peter Greenaway "masterpiece", The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. Jaw dropping beauty juxtaposed with some of the more disturbing imagery put to film. And Helen Mirren in a carreer-highlight performance !! It is also the only film I can think of that uses wardrobe as a form of set design. Among my top 3 favourite films of all time, and must-see viewing.
I was so excited to see you highlight Underground. I saw it when it was first released in cinemas, and the images and emotions and dark humor burned themselves into my brain. I love movies, but this was an experience I'll never forget. It doesn't seem to hold my friends' attentions.
Could have used some trimming in the editing room tho

Excellent movie.
they all suck
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
I watched them both, great ones, havent seen underground though. And its Lily Taylor, not Liv Tyler, adn she is amazing
@@frankkkbard0n315 hey, maybe because it’s The Underground? 😂😂😂
I have no clue and before I check it out I just thought I may as well go ahead with horrendous literacy skills….I’m not sure was I written again without glasses or there’s another component to it.
The underground is a specific cellar underneath Marko’s house that he adapted into living and working quarters for a group of people who kept manufacturing product for whatever market…..so should there be article The or not?
Logic doesn’t help with English spelling
I saw Underground on Netflix (I believe) some years back. If it's not the greatest movie I have ever seen, it is certainly in the top 5.
@@irish66 okay. That’s pretty high, I would say! The actors are absolutely fantastic but that might be a bit lost in translation. Perhaps the Times of Gypsies also by Kusturica is better quality…..also, the film represents different things to us who end up being a collateral damage….
Thanks for your comment 🙏🏼
The internet needs more videos like this. Thanks.
I saw Underground for the first time this year and it is absolutely one of my favorites of all time. It’s hilarious, beautiful, the music is just so infectious and has two of my favorite characters in Marko and Blacky. There’s almost nothing quite like it.
All the Kusturica films are worth a watch. My favourite is Life is a Miracle
Kube! POPOPO
Underground left a huge impression on me too.
Please check out Kusturicas Black Cat White Cat - It was his first film after Underground. Spectacular to say the least!
@@DejanKeepingitReal He made Black Cat White Cat because he was so pissed off about all the backlash against Underground.
He said he will only do lighthearted and meaningless movies from now on. XD
The Kino Corner out here introducing us to obscure stuff that 99% of film channels have never even heard of
seriously?
Does that make you feel superior? Hipster behavior. Snowflake tenderness.
Probably European movies...
The best movies in the world....
Americans don't know anything about it...
@checkmate3010 What's hard is making a film 99% of viewers like. Making a film that the filmmaker likes is much easier.
Obscure? This list literally has Speed, Easy Rider and Apocalypse Now. Great list of movies, but obscure? Only if you're very new to film and also 2 months old.
Underground is a simbolic summary of socialism. I was born under socialism in Eastern Europe, although not in Yugoslavia, and had the feeling this is a movie about my childhood when I saw it.
I watched WALKING THE STREETS OF MOSCOW back in January just because of your Letterboxd review. I'd never heard of it, or its filmmaker before. But it was good. Definitely worth seeing, so I'm glad you've included it here for others to discover.
I'm embarrassed to say that the only other films in this video that I've seen are UNDERGROUND, SOY CUBA, INVESTIGATION OF A CITIZEN..., and OVERLORD.
Keep up the great work, Kino!
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).
i would definitely recommend another georgian filmmaker , his surname sounds look alike , Eldar Shengelaia , i would recommend his "Blue Mountains, or Unbelievable Story" u can watch it legally on youtube , with english subtitles. if you would like to see absolute brilliance of georgian filmmaking , it's a hard go for!
You're embarrassed because you've only seen half of the obscure films on his list of obscure films?
Two recommendations: WHEN FATHER WAS AWAY ON BUSINESS from Yugoslavia, made while Yugoslavia still existed, and Petri's masterpiece, THE WORKING CLASS GOES TO HEAVEN.
Otac na sluzbenom putu... Emir Kusturica masterpiece
They all seem like films people pretend to really like just to seem 'clever' , but they really don't like them that much, they just like feeling clever.
That's how I feel about barry lyndon. Nobody actually likes that movie. They just say they do to seem smart
@fritzthecat8158 it's films like citizen kaine.. or Caine I can never remember... I mean does anyone actually... Really enjoy that?
Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion is such a great film, one of my favorites! I saw it earlier this year for the first time when I was binging a lot of Italian films, and that one stands out. I'm so thankful that you promote it.
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.
I look forward to exploring these films, especially The Tribe and Overlord. Please make more videos like these!
Investigation won the Oscar in 1971
it's ok
Me pareció insoportable sorry
Supermala, A quiet place es ridícula....en fin, olvidaba Petri
Nice that you mentioned "Soy Cuba" which is a truly great film -
especially in terms of photography!
You've just got yourself a new subscriber! Great video.
Mate, I've added every one of these to my watchlist. They all look amazing. In particular I'm most excited to watch your top 4. Really appreciate the video.
this showed up on my recommend and i’ve never watched your videos before. whatever you did worked so glad i found your channel !
Being romanian I saw underground when I was 14. It changed my perception of movies. Also Black Cat White Cat from Emir Kusturica. AMAZING.
If you're from the balkans you feel that movie. It ooozes balkan culture, humour and everything.
Un singur cuvânt: bullshit.
They showed Black Cat White Cat here in the US on Turner Classic Movies once years ago and I've raved about it to uncomprehending friends ever since.
Both masterpieces.
added multiple ones to my letterboxd watchlist! another great vid kino!
Saw Overlord a while back, can absolutely vouch for it deserving a place in this list. Thanks for posting this up, I'll take time to go check out the others!
UNDERGROUND IS no1.
Well this earned you a subscriber ! Thanks so much dude ! I love great cinema !
The Tribe and Overlord are amazing and I'm ecstatic that someone finally covered them. Thank you for your work.
My top 10 in no order would be Strangers On A Train 1951, Blow Up 1966, The Driver 1978, The Shining 1980, Kiss Me Deadly 1955, Tower Of London 1939, Blow Out 1981, Winter Kills 1979, The Dark Corner 1946, and The Parallax View 1974. These are my favorite that I watch over and over.
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
Good. Now that you’ve revealed critical plot points, no need for anyone seeing your review to waste their time on it. Smh
Fag.
21:41 This really is like looking into the history of some alternate dimension, where Moscow and Paris have been swapped out.
What a great video - I've not heard of most of these films and it's a pleasure to be introduced to them. More please! Thanks!
I once rented a video copy of Deep Cover to Leonardo DiCaprio many years ago while he was in Australia for rehearsals for Romeo + Juliet. He came into the tiny, video shop in the middle of Sydney's red-light area at around 11pm on rollerblades. He was the only person in the small video shop and we talked for a good hour about films. His knowledge of film was very impressive. He skated around behind the counter and sat on a milk crate and read the blurb about Deep Cover on its box. A couple of people came into the shop and rented some videos. They saw Leo sitting on the milk crate and I could see what was going through their heads: "He looks a lot like Leonardo DiCaprio. But it couldn't be!" We talked about The Quick & the Dead which he had just finished shooting with Russell Crowe. After a while he skated away into the night with the copy of Deep Cover. I forgot to check it out to him or take any money. Something I had trouble explaining to the boss the next day! Great film.
Soy Cuba was a required watch in my freshman college Spanish class. Loved every minute.
What a list! ❤️Underground

Dude I can't believe I'm seeing someone analyse my home countries movie, especially one as old as Underground. Thank you sir, you are a true cinephile
here in Portugal Underground and black cat white cat, had a big fan base back in the days when they came out, and still have a cult following.
Man, Kusturica is a god, his films are known around the world.
I saw Underground on Netflix some time back, and thought it was the greatest movie ever made. Yes, I have seen Citizen Kane, Bicycle Thieves, and Plan 9 from Outer Space.
Love this movie and Time of the Gypsies. Kusturica is a really unique filmmaker. Bregovic's soundtracks for both these movies are also brilliant.
Kusturica indeed a god, black cat white cat was huge in Romania, but really, i think his earlier films are better. Underground being one of the best.
Please, do you mind listing the names of the Russian directors you mentioned for me? Thanks.
I am so glad I found someone else who appreciates 'Overlord' for being a well shot film. We kindred spirits of cinema.
I haven't seen any of these films, but I will say that Tribe and Overlord are the ones that interested me the most, and I hope to watch them soon.
Bravo! Some amazing movies you've put together here. As soon as Underground title appeared I knew the recommendations were legit. Keep it up
I’m always curious to see how much of a film buff I am by watching lists like this and seeing how many I’ve actually seen… without failure I’m always at a 2/10 lol thanks for all the great suggestions!
All the movies I have got from internet reviewers so far have been known to me one way or other. This till I stumbled on your video. I'm surprised that I do not know even single movie mentioned here, and your synopsis helps it too. It is such a breath of fresh air. I plan to watch atleast one if not many.
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

Sorry for the long Text and my English 😋
Greetings from Bavaria 🤗
Really great, great Content! Love videos like this! 👏
These are really good movies, thanks for sharing 👍🤗
Buffalo 66 is Gold - watched it three times over the last 6 years.
BTW - it might be nice if you include the year in your suggestions to facilitate searching - as some of the titles have been made several times and it is quicker to get the right one - THX
Please keep sharing these great but not widely known films. I may be crazy but I have watch Satantango several times now, the cinematography is out of this world!
Very VERY good list. Underground is one of the last film under Yugoslavia banner before the country was fragmented in several countries, i saw it at the movies, very poetic. Soy Cuba was also known for the longest sequence shot and the special B&W film treatment, saw it in spanish, there are some french actors in it. Investigation… is a masterpiece in so many levels (Gian Maria Volonté was in his golden area, music from Ennio Morricone, the Kafka effect…)! The tribe is unique! Thanks for your video, i'll be looking for some of those movies👍
Okay, I am impressed.
You Know your kino.
Easily in the top 3 youtube film channels that I've run across.
Thanks for having such discerning taste.
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.
I actually think the greatest filmmaker is still alive. Denis Villeneuve hasn’t made a bad film yet. Don’t get me wrong, Kurosawa and Bergman are favorites of mine like so many film buffs but AK made several dogs and IB made many, many dull films.
@@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.
Try Ernst Lubitsch.
...and yes indeed - great presentation. looking forward to watch a couple of these that I have not yet seen. Keep up the great work!
Was very great to hear about I Walk In Moscow. I live in post soviet country,and this is big here. People who loved this film for the first time were as main characters age. Now they are 50-60 and they still watch it
Underground and Overlord have entered my watchlists. Excellent recommendations.
Underground is a great film, and I have been wanting to watch I am Cuba and definitely will soon
This was an excellent list, thanks for sharing! I had totally forgotten about The Tribe, really powerful film!
Great job! I put Overlord and Streets of Moscow on my watchlist. Thumbs up and follow from me.
Thank you for compiling these movies. I'm very much open to being introduced to Great movies from across the world. Please do continue this series.
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.
Pretty Village, Pretty Flame
@@emillyyelen5169 A deep thanks for the clarification - I'll post an edit.👍
@@milesipka Lepa sela lepo gore!
I think better translation would be "Pretty villiages nicely burn" but it sound better in Serbian ofc :)
Great Video, these 10 are definitely my next watches. More of this type of video, especially divided into genres or movements would be appreciated.
Underground turned a lot of people in Mexico to Balkan folk music. As a matter of fact, Kusturica and the No Smoking Gang just played here last week, on their Farewell Tour.
Superb. Your advocacy is incredibly persuasive. Thanks.
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.
Underground looks amazing but it's not pro-socialism is it?
@@AbrasiousProductions What is your problem, mate?
Socialism is evil, socialists are just as sinister as pedophiles and rapists and I refuse to watch socialist propaganda, if your a socialist your devoid of a soul and inhuman, I despise socialism...
@@AbrasiousProductions Who gives a crap what you despise
@@sextempiric7137 Dirty socialist, your an abomination against god, your an insult to everything good and moral in the world.. I pity you, I couldn't imagine being so morally bankrupt to be a soulless socialist fiend
Underground is my obscure film I recommend to everyone. I have never seen ore met anyone who knows this movie except my best friend and her Croatian family who recommended it to us. Definitely going to check out the rest of the movies on this list.
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.
It has won Cannes fest. in 1995, it's a pretty well known movie ( for cinephiles ). I remember renting it and La Haine - another Cannes prize winning movie in 95 - in VHS ( !! ) at my local "vidéoclub" in Montréal when I was 16.
@@LePhil79 La Haine is an amazing movie. Thanks for reminding me of it.
Hi, I've never seen your channel pop up before. I'm in Scotland and came originally from NZ. This list looks amazing! I'll definitely check them out and let you know. Cheers, Greg
Based, also I did watch Buffalo ‘66 because of you and it is great 🔥
I like movies that feature Unclean Abominations from the Abyss. A favorite is, "In the Mouth of Madness." What IS "reality"?
The Tribe was AMAZING! It was definitely an experience and a truly unique storytelling. I was surprised at how I understood what was happening without understanding what was happening. Fantastic film!
Man, this is awesome. I support you 1000%!
Just watched Overlord thanks to your recommendation and I was blown away. Thank you so much for your fantastic channel and content.
Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion was a favorite of my father. He saw it in a double bill with Five Easy Pieces when they were released. I’ve never seen it but you’ve just reminded me that I probably should.
Also good call on Buffalo 66, Vincent Gallo was an interesting cultural figure. That movie was him in microcosm.
Sheesh, that is one intense double-bill.
I'm constantly amazed by the depth of your knowledge. Keep it up!
I certainly enjoyed this cinematic analysis you put together. A job well done indeed. I would like to thank you for all of the time and energy it took for you to make this content. Keep up the good work.
First time on this channel. Will check out most of your recomendations. Thank you for the presentation, I get the sense that you care a lot. So keep at it!
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
Marketa Lazarova is one of the greatest films ever made, imo, and I quite like Valley of the Bees. I own several Czech films I’m sure you’ve seen “All My Good Countrymen”, by Vojtek Jasny and “Romeo, Julie a tma”, by Jirí Weiss are among my favorites.
@@papwithanhatchet902 thanks for that. No I haven't seen those but will look them up. Any other suggestions would be great.
I love Kino’s watch mojo era
Thank you for this. I love your channel; you're very interesting and engaging.
Some great suggestions here, thanks!
I saw Kin Dza Dza go past in the Soviet directors montage - not sure if you've covered it before, but it's definitely one I'd recommend for the stranger side of Soviet cinema
Kuu!
eh
Hey! UNDERGROUND is by Emir Kusturica who made a favourite film of mine, TIME OF THE GYPSIES
I think you should make a video of Latin American cinema, because it has a very unique filmography that is filled with social criticism and a glimpse of hope.
Also I’m from Colombia 🇨🇴 and I have seen a lot of great movies like la estrategia del caracol, pequeñas voces, cóndores no mueren todos los días etcétera
Thank you.
Great list.
I do not even consider most Hollywood movies to be real cinema. They are movies, not films. Many of the people who are featured in them are not actors, they are movie stars
Deep Cover became one of my all-time favorites, when I first watched it in a theater in the early 1990s. I read about The Last Movie in a book titled, "The Fifty Worst Films of All Time," which was published in the late 1970s. I didn't know some of these others. I'll check them out, wherever I can find them.
Really enjoyed this. I've earmarked several of these. Thank you.
The man who stolen the sun is so good and
underrated
... who stole* the Sun.
One of the best film related videos I've seen in a while. Well done, as usual
One of my favorite genres is dark comedy. Here are 10 amazing and underrated ones a lot more people should see. I was actually planning on adding Investigation of A Citizen Above Suspicion until I saw that you also included it in your video:
1) The Heartbreak Kid (1972)
2) In The Company of Men (1997)
3) River's Edge (1986)
4) Heavy Traffic (1973)
5) Little Murders (1971)
6) Prizzi's Honor (1985)
7) The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover (1989)
8) The Opposite of Sex (1998)
9) Unfaithfully Yours (1948)
10) Divorce, Italian Style (1961)
This is my favorite genre too.
A very good list 👏👏

Nice list! I know I'm in the right place - things I LOVE on the list, and new things to seek.
Good list man very interesting and cheers for making and sharing!
Underground is unforgetable for its strong metaphors and its vibrant music. I am glad that you mentioned "The Tribe", a very realistic and disturbing film which is among the most intense viewing experience I've had...with "Come and See" by Klimov.
weeee!!!! thank you for the video!!! more of this please!!!
Before this video I've only seen Soy Cuba. After a year, I watched Underground, The Man who Stole the Sun and Investigation of A Citizen Under Suspicion. Instantly, all of these became one of the best films I've ever seen. I am revisiting this video to watch another recommendations! Thank you so much!
and I think Death Note is inspired by The Man Who Stole The Sun.
Thank you so much for this - it's so rare for me to come across film lists that include films and directors/writers I've genuinely never heard of, especially in a world where most of TH-cam & Twitter etc. consider "The Godfather" to be a "cult film" 🤣 I have a few of these movies that you've mentioned, but the rest are going on my "to be investigated" list, thanks again!
the godfather was a cult film long before youtube or twitter even existed.
@@Dave1507 The Godfather has never ever been a cult film. That's like calling The Rolling Stones an obscure band.
@@krashd No it's not. I think your deifinition of cult film is off if you think so.
Subbed just because of this one video. Will definitely explore your channels, cheers
A brilliant and ecclectic collection. Thank you.
One omission that would fit well into this selection is the 1989 Peter Greenaway "masterpiece", The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. Jaw dropping beauty juxtaposed with some of the more disturbing imagery put to film.
And Helen Mirren in a carreer-highlight performance !! It is also the only film I can think of that uses wardrobe as a form of set design. Among my top 3 favourite films of all time, and must-see viewing.
