Animals populate every frame: geese, pigs, cats, dogs, rats. They are not metaphors — they are co-conspirators. A goose becomes Dadan’s obsession after it swallows his watch. A pig eats Matko’s car, leaving behind a chassis that later becomes a bed. Rats scurry under a bathtub where Grga’s grandson makes love. Kusturica treats animals with the same agency as humans. The black cat and white cat of the title appear at pivotal moments: one on a boat, one on a rooftop. They are never explained. Perhaps they are Grga’s eyes. Perhaps they are fate’s whims.
Set on the banks of the Danube, the story follows Matko Destanov, a small-time hustler living in a ramshackle house. After a failed train robbery, he becomes indebted to the local gangster and "techno-giant" Dadan Karambolo. crna macka beli macor ceo film upd
