Excellent Movie Set in Pre-war Bosnia
Danis Tanovic has made a great, great movie. This is not the "in your face" cinema of the younger generation of ex-Yugoslavia filmmakers. This is a movie about loss and separation, what it means to be of different national identities, ideologies, and statuses within a divided, polarized country, and how the past needs to be worked for a better future.
The always, always great Miki Manojlovic stars as Divko, a Bosnian returning to his small village after 20 years living in exile in Germany. He returns home with plenty of money, a very young girlfriend, Azra (Jelena Stupljanin), and a cat (Bonnie); He believes money (German Deutschmarks) will take care of most of what he left behind. His wife, Lucija (Mira Furlan), and late-teens son, Martin (Boris Lar), are still living in the home he left behind, and he evicts them, leaving them to fend for themselves. The Tito-Serb army still is in control of the military, while the "fascistic" Bosnian nationalists are in control of...
wonderful film
A beautiful and sensitive story. Mira Furlan was amazing and definitely the lead role as far as I was concerned. There was humor, depth , suspense and sadness with a wonderfully touching end. I have already recommended it to friends and family.
NO CIRCUS
I THOT IT WAS ABOUT CIRCUS LIFE. THIS LACKS SPECTACLE. U SHOULD DEVOTE MORE SPACE TO TELLING DATE OF FILMING & THE NAMES OF MAJOR STARS.
