Plot: The grim futility of the war between Bosnia and Serbia is reduced to its essence as two enemy soldiers are forced to share a wary trust for one another in this drama. A group of Bosnian soldiers are advancing upon Serbian territory during a misty night when the fog lifts at daybreak, making them plainly visible to their enemy. Serb forces open fire upon them, and soon only Chiki (Brancko Djuric) is still alive, after diving into a trench in no man's land. Two Serbian soldiers scouting the area set up a land mine using the body of a Bosnian soldier as bait; if moved, the mine will jump into the air and explode. Chiki watches as the soldiers set the trap, and furious at the disrespect to his fallen comrades, he kills one of the Serbs, and takes the other, Nino (Rene Bitorajac), hostage. With both soldiers alone and equally armed, they find themselves at a stalemate, and begin trying to attract help from either side. Eventually, the two men are found by a squadron of French soldiers attached to a U.N. peacekeeping unit; now held by supposedly neutral forces, Chiki and Nino are with the French troops when it's discovered that the dead Bosnian soldier isn't dead after all, though no one is sure how to disarm the mine without killing him in the process. No Man's Land was the debut feature from Bosnian writer and director Danis Tanovic. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

sneaky covert propadanga
Added 9/3/2009

SHAME on the oscars! anyone with half an eye for anti-whatever propadanga should be able to see through this baseless racist drivel. It sounds absolutely silly to me to call the academy of motion picture arts and sciences a bunch of political agenda fascists, but after they gave the nod to this deplorable, subtly hate-filled neo-nazi diatribe its not casting them in a good light. Watch Sin City instead, you'll end up smarter. PEACE

Best war movie EVER!
Added 8/30/2009

This movie tells the impact of war on a personal level and shows the absolute black humor of it.

I recommend it to everyone interested in areas in "conflict".

Modern War Masterpiece
Added 4/16/2009

A war picture so realistic, you're almost practically sitting watching from the trenches,witnessing - as two opposing enemy soldiers clash and collide, each man thinks only of one thing - and that is survival. This film is filled with action,humour,intensity,exceptional acting and expert direction. Winner of an Academy award for best foreign film, NO MAN'S LAND is a great accomplishment in the motion picture field and is a wartime masterpiece,subtitled.

Meaningful and powerful movie
Added 2/28/2009

Shipping was VERY fast. This is the second copy I have ordered. I use it for my World Geography class when we study eastern Europe. Well done and it gets the students talking about these recent events in history that they don't always see in the local news. It opens up events that happen in normal lives around the world and helps them understand that they are very lucky to be able to have freedom and not live in the middle of a war zone each and every day.

War movie of entirely different kind!
Added 2/22/2009

This is a war movie, at the same time, its very much personal film. When two soldiers of opposite camps are forced to stay in a trench - both having bullet injury - they not only confront enemy, they confront their mirror images. Both have similar mission, similar wound, similar feeling, similar frustration about the trouble they are in, again for similar reason.
Through their exchange of words and thoughts the movie displays the gigantic proportion of farce that the war has reached. The lighter moments in the movie have been injected with brilliant sense of precision and wit. Interestingly, even such a prolonged session together does not help to let the very soldiers realize the futility of their hostility. Almost similar to the lack of sensitivity of the UN, as the movie showed.
A funny film about war, from a very different perspective.
A must watch.
