Luna and Amar love passionately. Proof, if one is necessary is to read on the face of Luna (the beautiful Zrinka Cvitesic ) in the form of a radiant smile of pleasure. Sitting on his chair stewardess (which faces the other passengers) in takeoff and landing, an imperceptible movement of the commissures it illuminates the complexion as she loses her eyes in memory of snoring touching Amar ( Leon Lucev ). She is happy, almost filled, he is left with the hope of seeing her belly rounded, to grow permanently. Yet the heart of the idyllic wheel, a grain intrudes. Amar is fired from his job as an air traffic controller because he drinks in lousdé during the service. Being an alcoholic after the trauma of war, This Is Not a big deal, the problem is probably that it does not help his lack of fertility. The obstetrician said a healthy lifestyle, fruit, lots of walking and certainly no smoking and no alcohol '. Amar poor, his life will become a nuisance ... Then a fortuitous accident, he falls on Bahrija, a fellow war who converted to Wahhabism or Salafism (it depends on your point of view), movement somewhat radical Islamist sum. And as it is a bit lost and without a job, he accepted the invitation of Bahrija (whose song splendid invitation to prayer reminiscent of the lyre spellbinding) to join a camp on the banks of a lake (which looks like a camp of hippies, the separation of the sexes as well) where he will find faith and change radically. A little too much for Luna, who is struggling to admit to his return.
Jasmila Zbanic , director already known for Esma (Golden Bear in Berlin in 2006) established by its main subject, namely a couple who sees religion to undermine his achievements on the backdrop of a bloody conflict that Bosnia has not yet done grieving. Luna and Amar are two war orphans, non-practicing Muslims who live 200 miles an hour a life they know only too well the precarious. And to describe their reality by contrasting it with those of Muslims claiming to be an Islam more attached to the letter of the Koran, we can not say it bothered subtlety. The comparison between the different groups who claim the same religion is Manichean overall architecture. On the one hand, Luna sensual and sexy the other ninjas taped in black, tough and respectful of the laws governing relations between men and women, bent at customs that practice segregation. For Luna, the geographic view of love, made of distance and borders is inconsistent with what she feels for Amar. On one side tolerant grandmother Luna celebrating Eid surrounded by pagan chants and smell of alcohol, another Imam who marries a man with a minor.
course Jasmila Zbanic has the merit of not too stigmatizing a group over another, but they will quickly understand that it (taking twice as Luna) really does not approve the Salafists who see the genocide suffered by the Muslim people between 1992 and 1995 the translation a divine punishment or consequence of a liberal application of the Koran. At the cost of staging dynamic editing but overall extremely square, it distills as a first time, tremendously well the essence of the relationship between Luna and Amar is believed sincerely in love and we are curious to see how it can evolve. The second part of the film is much more disappointing because very predictable. Amar, the poor alcoholic finds refuge in fundamentalist Islam, it is transformed, different, do not sleep over with his wife outside marriage, refusing artificial insemination outside of marriage too. All this is packed quickly and not really justified in detail. Too much focus on the reactions of his unique actress, director forgets to feed the plot depth. Remains a wonderful interpretation of Zrinka Cvitesic with hazel eyes and smile light up the wonderful love affair from start to finish. The religious fable is much anecdotal though it is the true subject of the film.
