Storm (2009) - Germany/Denmark/Netherlands

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0768239/

Plot & Summary

Hannah Maynard is prosecuting a Bosnian-Serb accused of war crimes in a maddeningly long, drawn out trial. However, it may all be for naught when her star witness is exposed as a fabricator and commits suicide shortly thereafter. Still, something about his behavior and that of his sister, Mira Arendt, arouses her suspicions. If he was not present when the atrocities in question occurred, perhaps she was. Not surprisingly, Mira is reluctant to even talk to the prosecutor, let alone testify.

Like any government office, the court is a hotbed of political infighting and bloated egos. Her boss, Keith Hayward, is skillful at navigating those roiling waters, but she only trusts him so far. Fortunately she has the support of her lover, Jonas Dahlberg, a jowly older Scandinavian EU representative. Given some rope by Hayward, she learns Arendt did indeed witness some of the events in question. Yet, what happened to her afterward was far worse—but not covered by Maynard’s original indictment.

While “Storm” is well stocked with interesting character actors, the leads are more of a mixed bag. Romanian Anamaria Marinca is fast becoming one of the great international screen actors of the day. After unforgettable work in “4 Months 3 weeks and 2 Days,” and a small but compelling turn in “Five Minutes of Heaven,” she again makes a strong impression as Arendt, convincingly conveying a wide spectrum of emotions, including fear, anger, and resolve.

Written by Schmid and Bernd Lange, “Storm” is a very smart (and cynical) film, up until the utterly unbelievable Hollywood-style ending. Still, “Storm” is hardly the first film to have trouble wrapping things up. For the most part, it is a fascinating depiction of the limits of international criminal law and a painful reminder of the crimes committed against humanity by the Bosnian-Serbs and their Serbian allies.

Der Knochenmann [The Bone Man] (2009) - Austrian

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1181927/

Plot & Summary

What is it about great European indies that make them so endlessly fascinating and watchable? The Bone Man is another example. It’s two hours of terrific entertainment. It kept me guessing throughout and I appreciated the exquisite quality of everything in the frame here: the acting, the cinematography, the music.
The script is pitch perfect too. Lead actor Josef Hader as “Brenner” does wonders simply with an aged, weathered gaze. His facial expressions are a symphonic performance in and of themselves. Playing a retired cop, now reluctant repo man, he keeps getting pulled back in to do one last job. A familiar storyline. But when he heads to the country to find a lemon yellow Beetle, things don’t exactly unfold as planned.
The supporting cast is equally strong.

Is it a thriller? A farce? A dark comedy? I’ll leave that for you to figure out. One thing it definitely is: awesome.

Till recently an University professor, a bohemian writer, a member of Belgrade's intellectual circles and a passionate opponent of the Milosevic's regime, TEJA is today a manager of a big publishing house. One day a strange visitor comes uninvited to his office, carrying a big suitcase. That man is LUKA, a former agent of the Serbian Security Service, now a taxi driver.

As we get to know LUKA, we find that his mission for the last ten years was to daily shadow TEJA, to write reports on his behavior and acts, to watch on him even in the most intimate moments of his life. Gradually the last ten years of their lives begin to appear, the lives of these two men with quite different destinies. We see before us the chronicle of an age from the most incredible situations, often touching, sometimes irresistibly funny, to the most tragic events and the darkest war stories in the history of one nation's struggle in the end of the 20th century.

Put lubenica [The Melon Route] (2006) DVDRip - Croatian with English subtitles

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499072/

Plot & Summary
Inspired by a true story, this movie is about twelve illegal immigrants who drowned in the river Sava on the Bosnian-Croatian border. Seen through the eyes of a young Chinese girl who loses her father in the accident, it shows the relationship between her and former Croatian army soldier, an ex drug-addict suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, who lost everything in the war. The language and cultural barrier between the main characters gives a special dimension to the film which is imbued with a painful comprehension – how hard it is to deal with the burden that can never be discarded – the place of birth.
