Greatest Bosnian Picture

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2004)

"No Man's Land" is the whole truth about the Serb aggression over Bosnia and Herzegovina and the responsibility of the United Nations. It shows the war from it's truthfully side.The movie is made in a typical Bosnian way that always includes comedy. I would describe the picture as a true story rather than just drama or comedy. The only disadvantage is that you can't understand some parts of "No Man's Land" if you don't speak Bosnian. There are some expressions that cannot be translated into English. Here are the pictures those to tell you the story. Tanovic works with symbols, like the very last picture of the movie, where you see this Bosnian soldier lying on a land mine not being able to either move or stay there. This is the way Bosnia looks today after the war. It is still a "No Man's Land".
It is a funny way to understand the ironic war in Bosnia. It can be compared to "Life Is Beautiful" (Benigni).
