VUKOVAR POSTE RESTANTE International Cinema

Shot on location in the bombed out border town of Vukovar in the former Yugoslavia, this deeply
moving, riveting story is more than the average Romeo and Juliet tale of star crossed lovers
Croatian Anna and Serbian Toma marry in spite of the growing political antagonism between the
two sides. When Toma is drafted, Anna stays behind and is forced to endure the ensuing devastation
and humiliation. In the final shot, a helicopter flies over a tortured landscape, the tragic
absurdity of civil war depicted by bombed houses and bodies floating in the once-beautiful blue
Danube. “A monumental achievement that deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as All
Quiet on the Western Front, Apocalypse Now and The Killing Fields.”-William Arnold, Seattle
