Well done film about the Third Balkan War in the 1990s, in this case, Croats vs. Serbs. The film takes a single incident--the killing of a Serb civilian who lives in a predominantly Croat town during the war--by Croat soldiers. This starts the plot rolling. Soon layer after layer of the true story is revealed as the movie shifts backs to certain scenes and repeats them from a slightly different angle and perspective. In this particular film, the technique is used very effectively without being annoying or pretentious.
I agree with many of the other reviewers--an underrated film that should be watched. I give it 8 stars.
Note: as of Sep 2013, this film is available on Netflix Instant View as well as DVD. Glad I found it.
