Lepa Sela Lepo Gore (1996) is probably the Serbian director's finest movie.
Skilfully made story of life and death of a few people in a few days of the civil war in Bosnia, and days (and decades) that succeeded and preceded it all. In the vein of classic Serbian black humour-filled dramas, and also tracking in the steps of the classic (anti) war movies, this movie has it all really - good story (based on a true experience of one group of Serb soldiers during the war) and a tight and slick photography and editing, considering it's time and the circumstances.
An honest and entertaining war drama from start to finish, and, as mentioned,this film nicely puts together feel of all the classic war films with that mid90s-early QT filming feel to it, for this hard and thrilling ride into the hell of war. Very good watch.
8/10.
