Realistic war film

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2002)

Brilliant. It feels like the right balance between comedy and tragedy. And, though I have fortunately never fought in a war, this presentation of a microscopic event in the great scheme of things seems very realistic. It's not easy to strike the right balance and in a way that is interesting and pertinent. Danis Tanovic and his crew have succeeded brilliantly.
