回复 :“An ordinary story, told in such an imaginary way. The Angel and The Devil, competing about Nikola, a twenty-and-something womanizing student of the world literature, a city's wise-guy whose cozy way of life is being roughly interrupted by impregnating Marina, a clumsy high school graduate at a party, who wants to keep the baby, while Nikola believes it's not necessary. Generations in Serbia knows to tell this film by heart, and I highly recommend it to anyone abroad because it's a great way of meeting and understanding Yugoslav pop culture.It also has an outstanding soundtrack.It's Srdjan Dragojevic's film-school graduation piece which shot him into instant fame."
回复 :影片前半部看是一出荒诞不经的嬉闹剧，但在黑色幽默的底层却深深反映出了战争后期人们的厌战情绪，影片后半部则感人至深，可谓深具震撼力，那个象征禁锢的棕榈树的两次被扔进大海，正象征了权利的倾覆和向往自由的呼声。
