An ABSOLUTELY Brilliant Film..., 8 March 2002
10/10
Author: A Scanner Darkly from Nowhere Near Hong Kong...

Underground is without a doubt, one of the very finest movies to emerge from Europe. After seeing Underground, one realizes that one has just witnessed cinema at one of it's highest levels. This movie is what "The Tin Drum" was supposed to be, and so much more. Absolutely Brilliant on all levels.
