10 minuta

"10 minuta" is a ten minutes Bosnian short-film that won Best Short-Film Award in European Film Awards 2002

This is one of the foreign short films that impress me the most....

it's Huge, it's Impressive, it's Great!!!

"The film's opening scene start at Italy, showing a Japanese tourist go into a photo-printing shop, asking the shop owner is it possible to have his films finish print in 10minutes

The shop owner ensure him that the photo can be done in 10minutes. And so, he wait outside the shop, take his cigarette, and look at his watch, 10minutes on!



Then the film's scene switch to Bosnia, showing a woman ask her son to buy a loaf of bread and fetch some waters home

In order to do so, the little boy must go through a war zone....and so, he walk all the way in the war zone and reach to the breadseller....While he is buying the bread, suddenly the enemy army start bombing to Bosnian

The little boy run all the way back to his home and found his family was dead!!!



The scene switch back to Italy, showing the Japanese tourist's photos are done, 10 minutes end.... "




The cinematography is great!!!

Single continous shot in the Bosnia scene....

Not shaky at all, camera angle and movement is perfect!!!

The setting is massive and excellent....



This film show us the contrast of Rome and Sarajevo....

Perhaps a "10 minutes" doesnt mean anything for the Japanese tourist

But for the Bosnian little boy, a "10minutes" had changed his life forever!!!

Can you imagine??? What a big impact it was!!!!



Highly recommend by JT, must watch....haha!!!
