ZIVOT JE CUDO / LIFE IS A MIRACLE
France, Serbia and Montenegro 2004
Director: Emir Kusturica, 154 MIN

In his proven surreal style, Kusturica directs a Romeo-and-Juliet tale against the backdrop of the eruption of the war in Bosnia. Luka, a Serbian train-engineer, moves with his family to a remote region, where he is supposed to build a railway-line. The born optimist ignores the first indications of impending disaster. When violence suddenly erupts, things happen rather fast: his wife leaves him and his son is imprisoned by the Bosnians. Luka is appointed as the guard for a female Muslim prisoner – and falls in love with her. But will he exchange Sabaha against his son? Animals play as big a part in Kusturicas tragically comical burlesque as the gypsy-techno-rock music of his “No Smoking Orchestra”.
