Death in Sarajevo

Death in Sarajevo

2DCSCS/ES15
Director:Danis Tanović
Cast:Jacques Weber, Izudin Bajrović, Snežana Vidović, Vedrana Seksan
Premiere:8. June 2017
Length:85 minutes
Genre:Drama

Director: Danis Tanović  •  Cast: Jacques Weber, Izudin Bajrović, Snežana Vidović, Vedrana Seksan, Muhamed Hadžović

Using the ground plan of a single building, from the basement to the roof, the director Danis Tanović blends a philosophical-historical investigation of the conflicts in Europe, a human (tragi-)comedy about a failed industrial strike and a model story. The film features inspired long takes across the interiors and presents an allegory of the hierarchy of floors in Hotel Europe, the venue of all kinds of banal and significant clashes, reflecting the situation in Europe and the post-Yugoslavia bloc. Death in Sarajevo is a political thriller, a provocative drama in the spirit of Robert Altman’s ensemble cast works, as well as an innovative theatrical adaptation. Yet it is above all an intellectually stimulating and stratified probe into the principles of the volatile “Balkan soul” and the tumultuous century in Europe.
