why are so many good movies ignored?

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2005)

I saw this movie a couple of years ago and thought it was brilliant!Tried to rent it again, but to no avail. A shame, while the movie is so good. Although the subject is extremely tragic (grim warfare, death, the hopeless inability of the international community and the eternal arrogance of the French),the tone of the film is relatively light and has a lot of comedy in it. The movie shows that even in such bad times, people remain people with all their good and bad sides, who are able to love, laugh, hate, and be selfish or extremely human. Therefore it bothers me that the movie, although it won several prizes, including an academy award, is so much ignored, for i think that it is absolutely suitable for a larger public, if the right buzz was created. I mean, Fahrenheit 9/11 was a hit. Is it because people were sick about the Balkan situation?
