...does not resort to graphic violence in order to hint at the atrocities of the war. We see it reflected in the women’s lined faces and the men’s gruffness. We hear about it in songs sung in the school bus and learnt at home??the English title of the film is a line from a song about war-torn Bosnia. The well-used pick-up line “Where have I seen you before?” gets the morbid and somewhat unexpected answer: “At postmortem identifications...
...less of M. Ward’s signature old-timey feel.
