No Man’s Land


This Bosnian film is another masterpiece of simplicity. No big budgets. No famous actors. Just a shit hot script and some great performances.

The Two soldiers, one Bosnian and the other Serbian, are trapped in a trench between enemy lines. Drawing fire from both sides, they place their hope on UN peacekeeping troops, who face their own struggle with superiors and the media.

Add the wounded soldier that lies on top of a spring-loaded mine, and you can't help but see that war is indeed one hell of a mess.

Although this film is now 9 years old, it has probably only been seen by a handful of people. Despite it winning an Oscar for best Foreign Film. If you can find it, it’s definitely worth checking out.
