Miki Manojlović (r.) takes flight in Cirkus Columbia.
The foreign-language comedy-drama Cirkus Columbia is the fourth movie from the Bosnian filmmaker Danis Tanović, whose 2001 film No Man’s Land won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
Cirkus Columbia takes place after fall of the Communist regime in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1991 where Divko Buntic (Miki Manojlović, The Heir Apparent: Largo Winch) returns to his former home after a 20-year exile in Germany. Returning with an attractive young girlfriend (Jelena Stuplijanin), a flashy new Mercedes, a pocketful of cash, and a lucky black cat, things are looking good for Divko. When his cat goes missing things begin to fall apart: his relationships with his girlfriend and his estranged son (Boris Ler) are strained, while the entire town scrambles to find his cat to collect the cash reward. Divko’s personal tumult finds an unsettling mirror in the country at large with signs appearing that the Bosnian War is coming. As the war looms, tensions run high and Divko must decide whether to stay in his newly reestablished home or leave.
Cirkus Columbia played film festivals around the world and drummed up a lot of appreciation from audiences and critics. It also had a tiny opening in U.S. theaters in February, 2012.
No bonus features have been announced for the DVD of the movie.
