For Those Who Can Tell No Tales
Directed by Jasmila Žbanić1h 12m2013
Kym, an Australian tourist, decides to travel to Bosnia. Her guidebook leads her to Višegrad, a small town steeped in history, on the border of Bosnia and Serbia. After a night of insomnia in the 'romantic' Hotel Vilina Vlas, Kym discovers what happened there during the war. She can no longer be an ordinary tourist and her life will never be the same again.

Heavy, measured, measured drama, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, measured.
