Black Cat, White Cat



Poem in promtion of a movie

Black Cat, White Cat (Serbian: Црна мачка, бели мачор; Crna mačka, beli mačor) is a 1998 Serbian romantic black comedy film directed by Emir Kusturica. It won the Silver Lion for Best Direction at the Venice Film Festival.

The literal translation of the title is actually "Black (female) cat, white tomcat". The movie characters speak in Rromani, Serbian, and Bulgarian - frequently switching among them.

As customary normusual,
It is an optional gig
Since I don't force anyone to
Do things against their will!
E-Joy!
(Reminds me of that unforgetful line from Humphrey's Casablanca...and Whiskey
Bootleg-produced
By The Kennedies :-{
