Review of No Man's Land (2001) by Dave P — 25 Jul 2005
This is a very interesting film (subtitled) which is a sort of metaphor of the whole Bosnian war. I don't know if its based on true events or not but it doesn't matter. The film focusses on 3 soldiers (1 Serb and 2 Bosnians) who get caught in a trench between the respective lines.
One of the men is laid flat out on a bouncing mine keeping him pinned to the ground. We simultaneously see the commonality of soldiers and the hatred they carry for each other. And then we see the political mess created by the UN and the ubiquitous media.
The story line is simple yet carried me along to the end allowing me to get a sense of this senseless war.
