Missed Warnings: The Bradford City Fire (2015) doc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEl8PEsH4xQ Didn't know about this, I guess it's because it was only the 3rd tier of English football that kept it relatively obscure to similar tragedies like Heysel or Moscow. 56 lives claimed after an Australian ma...

Yeah and once he descended to the town to write down a review, he somehow "couldn't".

Guys, just make sure that when you ban someone for good that the same person doesn't come back under different name. Be careful

Back to Romeo Void... HOW MANY OF YOU AMERICANS HAD A EXPOSURE OR DID YOU LIKE THEM BACK IN THE DAY? If I ever had a band, I would try to make it sound exactly like this San Francisco-based act. Their singer wasn't a slim one, unfortunately that sealed their fate after only two albums (by their own ...

The whole movie reminds of a naive painting IMO. Such a tragic loss of a talent.

Landscape with a Woman was made in 1974 as a TV film. Ivica Matić (1948-1976) was born with a heart anomaly; one day he went to help some friends building a house which proved to be a fatal decision. The very same day he returned home, lied down and never woke up but his only film made Bosnian film...

ha, when i see the written language i can vaguely understand what's being said. edit: oh, subbed is only the Italian intro The members of NS and some other musicians/actors were also creators of Top Lista Nadrealista (Surrealists' Top Chart), a Yugoslavian version of Monty Python's Flying Circus . ...

Hey I found the film but there's no subs. If someone uploads it at KG, maybe I would do the subtitles eventually to improve my ratio there.

Zabranjeno pušenje (No Smoking) i was actually looking for NO SMOKING IN SARAJEVO (Gianluca Loffredo, Andrea Postiglione, 2016, 52m) but can't find it anywhere → https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6818592/ As I said, it's a trash music, sort of like Balkan folklore mixed with Gypsy vibe and blues. Not my...

Which reminds me... for some years Emir was a member of best rock group that ever came from Bosnia, Zabranjeno pušenje (No Smoking). Nearly all members later moved away from Sarajevo and separated into two fractions (Zagreb and Belgrade), the latter of which became Kusturica's supporting musical ban...

The first three feature films of Emir Kusturica (along with two TV films, not remarkable as big-screen efforts) were made in Bosnian production (until 1990s). I shared only the first two because Dom za vešanje/Time of the Gypsies already go too much fame. Sjećaš li se, Dolly Bell aka Do You Remember...

I know you hate that but coming-of-age is not really the focus. IMO avoiding/skipping just because it 'smells like teen spirit' would spare you a lot of great movies. Karl watched Ovo malo duše and rated it 4/5, need I say more? oh mario, whilst i appreciate karl's appreciation of movies, he's not ...

just want to note that i'm not ignoring bosnia (aside from teen boy coming of age stories which mario knows i hate) only my computer-fucked situation means that it's streaming only at the minute :( I know you hate that but coming-of-age is not really the focus. IMO avoiding/skipping just because it...

Ok 1960s shall be... A French nouvelle vague made impact on more than a few local directors, too. It was Mirza Idrizović debut and certainly the most valuable film of his.

This is my latest subtitling project btw. fab mario. since i get slightly confused at locating bosnian films that aren't in bosnian (language) i'm basically using your mubi list....and then discovering that i don't seem to be able to find many of the 60's or before films, which is i guess is the pe...

Now on to the one director I like the most... Ademir Kenović.

There's a puppet-animated short you can watch without subs. Only at the beginning it says "Emil and Jasna" and "President of the Jury and the three beauties in the film..." Miss Zelengrada aka The Beauty Pageant of Greentown (1962) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGFC_EfL5xs Hajr...

Two regions in the country's name are historical; they are no administrative entities today. Bosnian largest town is Sarajevo and Herzegovina's largest is Mostar. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Herzegovina_location_map_simple.svg/1024px-Herzegovina_location_map_simple.svg....

I've found Kameni spavač with French subtitles, but you must wait until I made subtitles. I wanted to do for some shorts anyway.

As you can see, Bakir Tanović is behind this short and the feature I suggested above.

I'll give you a proper and long directions what to watch + where to find gems. The biggest film studio in Sarajevo before the war was Sutjeska Film, which is demolished by grenades and torn down around 1992. It produced the country's best films to date, and many of these were available on YouTube un...
