Four Walls Sarajevo

About This Movie

Four Walls Sarajevo presents a raw and haunting glimpse into life during the siege of Sarajevo. The streets are a cacophony of tension, with Mizar navigating the dangers posed by snipers, all while trying to maintain a fragile sense of normalcy for his father, Jamil. The atmosphere is thick with dread, yet there's a poignant connection between father and son that grounds the narrative. It's not flashy, but the practical effects enhance the stark realism of their surroundings. The performances, particularly that of Mizar, are filled with a quiet intensity that pulls you in. There's a certain pacing here that feels deliberately sparse, mirroring the emptiness of the war-torn city, making each moment significant and heavy with unspoken words.
