After the end of the Yugoslavian Civil War in 1995, Captain Vinciguerra is sent to a ravine that has become a place where there are no human rights. It is part of the operation Bad Bear to arrest Radovan Pavlevic, a war criminal. Giacomo, his son who always makes trouble, shows up holding an olive branch, the symbol of peace, and the peacekeeping mission turns upside down. Silvio Orlando, Italy’s top actor and comedian, brilliantly plays his role in this new director’s first feature. What is unique is that the director inserts the anti-war/anti-military message into the framework of a comedy, moving between reality and imagination. What is also brilliant is the way in which the film reveals the situation in Yugoslavia, a political blind spot after the end of the Civil War, and to tell a story about a father and a son in a humorous but sophisticated manner. The satire of conservatives and liberals is notable as well. This Italian comedy was the closing film for the International Critics’ Week at this year’s Venice Film Festival. (RHEE, Soue-won)
