Visually dazzling and profoundly moving, UNDERGROUND is Emir Kusturica's passionate rendering of Yugoslav history in the postwar era. During an air raid, a diverse group of partisans and others hide out in an enormous basement storeroom; years pass, and long after the war is over they remain hidden, convinced that the battle outside is still raging. Yet when they finally do re-emerge, they are caught up in a new, different kind of struggle.

This video presentation encompasses all five hours and 12 minutes of the original television version.
312 minutes, France/Germany; 1995.
