Cirkus Columbia 2010
- Director: Danis Tanovic
- Based on the book by Ivica Djikic
- Cast: Predrag Manojlovik, Mira Furlan, Boris Ler, Jelena Stupljanin
- Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
- Mira Furlan – Lost
- Why? Possibly interesting
- Seen: 24 August 2022
Divka (Manojlovik) returns to Bosnia after twenty years in Germany just as the war is about to break up and Yugoslavia is about to shatter. He’s now rich and thinks he can take over. He kicks his wife Lucija (Furlan) and son Martin (Ler) out of their house and moves in with his attractive young lover Azra (Stupljanin).
The communists have been defeated and thugs now run the village. Divko is an uncouth tyrant and manipulative crook whose only redeeming quality is that he loves his cat. It’s an odd slow-moving film and the only thing that’s interesting is the mess the anti-communist thugs made of Yugoslavia. The sentimental ending loses it ½ *.
