Grbavica

Keep the name Grbavica in mind for next year's Oscar season. A Bosnian film, it recently won the Golden Bear award at the Berlin Film Festival, ostensibly the 4th biggest film prize in the world. I saw it last night and was, frankly, deeply moved. It is about living in Sarajevo in the aftermath of war and, specifically, of rape. Although I wouldn't really know, it seems to brilliantly and subtly convey the everyday scars of life in a war torn country.
