News of his death, apparently from cardiovascular ills, sent a shudder through the Balkans, not for the man but for the missed opportunity for justice in a region scarred by the nationalist tensions Milosevic manipulated with such skill.

By the time it ended its run at the Curzon cinema in London's Soho in October, the film had played every day for more than a month - but not once did it shudder, skip or pop out of focus. This picture-perfect vision comes courtesy of a brand-new digital cinema system, a combination of high-tech projector and computer server that could one day kick celluloid out of the projection booth for good.
