Review of Quo Vadis, Aida? (2021) by Mauro_Lanari — 01 Feb 2022
(Mauro Lanari).
"A Sarajevo sniper lets himself be interviewed in an almost dark room. It seems incredible to me: she is a woman. A woman who shoots a six-year-old boy? Why?
'In twenty years he would have had twenty-six', is the answer that the interpreter translates.
The cold becomes more intense, it is cold inside. The interview ends there, there is no other possible question.".
These are the concluding words of the book written by Gino Strada "Green Parrots", after which the silence, the emptiness, the blank page, the unspeakable. There are two categories of anti-war films: those that condemn all wars and those that limit themselves to denouncing a single particular tragic episode. Unfortunately, Žbanić's movie is of the second kind.
