Bosnian film about one Serbian and one Muslim soldier held up in a trench between enemy lines, with a third soldier laying on top of an unexploded bomb.
Well received by critics and audiences, No Man's Land is an interesting antiwar drama that is quite an enjoyable film. The power struggles between the soldiers caught in the trench are interesting, as are the soldiers' ironic political sentiments.
The film does contain a good deal of dark humor, especially when portraying the United Nations and the press as these two entities interfere with the situation.
The language is chiefly Serbo-Croatian but a good deal of the film is spoken in English; of course subtitles are available.
Directed by Danis Tanovic.
