My other movie recommendation for the night.
A film by Danis Tanovic - 2002 Golden Globe Winnner for best foreign language film. Winner, Best Screenplay, Cannes Film Festival 2001. 2002 Oscar nominee. Two Thumbs Up from Ebert & Roeper.
But, most importantly, I recommend it... *smile*
"The Bosnia and Herzegovina civil war serves as the backdrop for 'No Man?s Land', easily one of the best movies of 2001 so far. Writer/director Danis Tanovic has created a movie that combines sharp satire with a powerful, even-handed look at a war that has no clear victors, only victims."

"Tanovic's most impressive feat in No Man's Land is his indictment of the war, and his adroit use of humor in slamming what he feels is unnecessary violence. He is particularly critical of the upper levels of UNPROFOR, the task force sent by the United Nations to monitor (but not interfere in) the fighting. He portrays them as petty bureaucrats concerned with politics and not with human rights. UNPROFOR soldiers like French soldier Marchand (Train of Life, Le Pantalon), who truly wants to make a difference, finds his hands tied by his superiors. Tanovic makes the point that both sides are not too sure what they are fighting for. Instead of continuing to fight, maybe they should sit down and rationally talk about matters."
