GRBAVICA Cheered at 2006 Berlin Film Festival
February 12th, 2006 by Andre Soares
"A moving drama about Bosnia’s post-war trauma and the lingering impact of the systematic rape of Bosnian women by Serb soldiers won cheers at its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival on Sunday," writes Erik Kirschbaum for Reuters. The "moving drama" in question is Jasmila Zbanic’s Grbavica, starring Mirjana Karanovic. Officially, 20,000 Muslim-Bosnian women were raped during the latest (and hopefully last) Balkan war, though Zbanic says the number may be as high as 50,000.
