There was no poster immediately available for my review. Should one become available in the future, this section will be updated.
This 2006 entry to the Academy's foreign language film competition from Bosnia and Herzegovina does have some promise in the length of its trailer. There are a lot of compelling shots but the narrative doesn't seem as strong as we'd like it and there is a brief segment that gives you an idea what may transpire by the film's close.
Since it didn't make the final five, Grbavica is eligible for the Oscars in other categories. However, if the mainstream-minded foreign language branch can't see to give it a nomination, then its chances are slim.
I have not seen this film.
