Danis Tanovic returns to his roots in ‘Cirkus Columbia’
08 January 2011, Saturday / EMİNE YILDIRIM , İSTANBUL
Who can forget the magnificent film “No Man’s Land”? Bosnian filmmaker
Danis Tanovic’s feature debut was one of the best films to illustrate
the devastation of the former Yugoslavia.
Now Tanovic returns with a film that aims for a similar
verisimilitude. With the kind of absurdist yet humane humor specific
to the region, “Cirkus Columbia” follows a personal story in an
idyllic Herzegovinian town with the looming Yugoslav wars of the early
’90s in the background.
Veteran actor and comedian Miki Manojlovic stars as the idiosyncratic
macho Divko. He left his hometown -- a place unspecified in
Herzegovina -- 20 years ago to make his fortune in Germany and escape
the communist regime. Now that the Eastern Bloc has broken down, he
comes back to town armed with a brand new red Mercedes, a black cat
called Bonny, which he walks on a leash, and a bombshell younger
girlfriend Azra (Jelena Stupljanin). The problem is that Divko has
some evil thoughts on his mind, fuelled by a desire for revenge. His
wife, Lucija (the wonderful Mira Furlan from “Lost”), refused to come
with him 20 years ago and decided to raise their only son Martin
(Boris Ler) on her own, with the help of her friend, the army officer.
Divko has no compassion for his wife and estranged son and evicts them
from their house immediately to claim it as his own. ...
