Repérages ”Ironic point of the kaleidoscopic images of this film, the shooting of a videoclip summarizes the quintessence of Kusturica's cinema, his baroque exaggeration, inviting his picturesque characters (gypsies, brides, nuns…), his bestiaries and his untiring frenzy of movements. Using this folklore as a stereotype, at the end, he underlines all the singularity and the deep historical roots ; it's what make a success of these stories in Super 8, with fragrances bitterer than it first appears.”

Monsieur Cinéma ”Not really a full-length film of fiction but more than a simple documentary, SUPER 8 STORIES is a very intimate film, full of images with family, archives of Yugoslav television and ex-Yugoslavia in ruins, like recalling us that finally, on stage, the life is beautiful. One finds obviously the gypsy imaginary and the squeaking humour of the director, with funny scenes as the cocker spaniel which sings or the interview which turns to a general laugh. Geniusly deconstructed, SUPER 8 STORIES will give you ants in the legs and will turn you completely “Unza Unza” ! ”
