Welcome to Sarajevo (1997) – Michael Winterbottom

I’m not in to war films per se. But Welcome to Sarajevo (especially the first half before they leave Sarajevo) is a clever commentary on the mediatization of war. Watch out for a stellar performance by Woody Harrelson.

In one hour death undoes all.

What price beauty, what price riches?

What price honours, what price nobility?

— Helinand of Froidmont‘s (“Verses of Death“) (1194 -1197)
