This is a brilliant surrealistic film. But also a fully realistic story about a time when the brave avant-guarde artists were trying to explore the unknown landscapes of human possibilities. The contrast between two realities: the poor village and the dadaist artists is shown very smart and brings the possibility of changing the world by the art. Unfortunately, that progressive ideals of making the world better by revealing new areas of imagination, that ruled in the first half of XX century, were crushed by the war. And, the tragedy finishes: the artistic ideals are dead, international art brotherhood also, but, as a real disaster: Yugoslavia is also dead, as a country, but as an artistic vision of nation's brotherhood, too. So, the art falls apart
巴尔干半岛艺术往事。发生于两次世界大战之间，现代主义小艺术团体的艺术活动，融合艺术、政治、爱情的流浪，以死亡和破碎为结局。前南现代主义艺术对苏联布尔什维克的青睐，如名画《美杜莎之筏》下是一副列宁的画像、批判资本家的表演。多有对巴尔干地区文艺传统的引用和点评，充满未来主义色彩。片名“美杜莎之筏”，可能是对于自相残杀获取求生机会，罪恶与希望共存的隐喻。
3.8分。1. 克林姆林宫和埃菲尔铁塔之间架着一条燃烧的钢索，欧洲人则是踮脚踩在上头的舞者。2. 大自然已经无用了，钢铁和玻璃才是未来的花朵。3. 就算你才华横溢，在巴尔干岛能干什么？摩天大楼会在这儿陷进泥里，你的“机械艺术”在这很快就会凋亡。在这样一个神圣国度里，所谓“机器”和火柴没有什么区别，你还有什么期待呢？4.布尔什维克文化人，泡着血的泥地里长出来的，就是你们这样的毒蘑菇。5. 你在愤怒什么呢？我们不都是在等着有人给一个台阶，踏回正常的生活。

艺术、政治、流浪生活、理想主义的覆灭：比库斯图里卡严肃，比马卡维耶夫戏谑，坎普而不粗糙，诙谐而不滑稽，犹如韦斯·安德森板起面孔，但早了20年，又似考里斯马基开始话痨，却说着塞尔维亚语
坠落的，隐喻的，阴沉的，无力的，逝去的，平凡的。
