Mumbai, 16th December, 2009: UTV World Movies, India’s pioneering international movie channel brings to you the movie of the Month for December 09 – No Man’s Land. No Man’s Land is Danis Tanovic’s first feature fiction film, , he has made documentaries and shot war footage for the Bosnian army archives. His experience on the battlefield informs the film’s details as well as the mordant humor and cynicism that laces the story.
After various skirmishes, two wounded soldiers, one Bosnian and one Serb, confront each other in a trench in the no man’s land between their lines. They wait for dark, trading insults and even finding some common ground; sometimes one has the gun, sometimes the other, sometimes both. Things get complicated when another wounded Bosnian comes to, but can’t move because a bouncing mine is beneath him. The two men cooperate to wave white flags, their lines call the UN (whose high command tries not to help), an English reporter shows up, a French sergeant shows courage, and the three men in no man’s land may or may not find a way to all get along
Speaking about the film, Manasi Sapre, Programming Head, UTV World Movies said “A tight and haunting suspense – No Man’s Land beat Lagaan and Amelie at Oscars with its mesmerizing and brutal honesty. A dark contemporary commentary on the evils of war – No Man’s Land exposes the modern media for its inhuman sensationalism and portrays that violence: state sponsored or inherent in Human beings will bring nothing but horrors to civilization. A must watch winner which has inspired war films across the world
