A demented black comedy/fantasy populated with countless lusty women and a handful of pugilistic men.

Having accidentally killed the last man in their village, two sisters are pledged to hunt for his replacement. What they find is a dancing ladykiller, a circus strongman and a whole lot of explosions, estrogen and adventure. In one scene, a bar full of women drink enchanted brandy, then weep and dance as their dead menfolk return to them as mutilated wraiths.

Director Uros Stojanovic takes strikingly attractive leads, opulent production design and impressive visual effects and creates a cheerfully light burlesque romp that is unmistakably Balkan - and was a huge box-office success in its native Serbia.

A non-stop, shabby-chic, Girl's Own Serbian Night Watch.
