No Man's Land (I) (2001)
9/10
Brilliant! An uncommon delineation of war
9 October 2002
One of the most eerie resolutions to a film that I've ever seen. This film is more than just one of the only depictions of the Bosnian/Serbian struggle: this movie is about the selfishness of humanity. It takes a dive into the upheaval of indifference, and reveals the true childishness of quarrels.

This was very well written, with dramatic elements as well as stark wit. This is more than a dark comedy, but a realistic depiction. I guess life is often dark and amusing, I don't know. Anyway, it's one of the best scripts of the year, that's for sure. The photography is always fluid, but very slow; which, in a way, fits the stories tempo. I loved the acting and i loved how terrible the ending was. (storywise, i'm not badmouthing the movies chosen ending.)

More people need to see this film, as it was quite under-rated. One of the best films of 2001, amidst many good films.
