    Death in Sarajevo (Bosnian: Smrt u Sarajevu) is a 2016 Bosnian drama film directed by Danis Tanović. It was selected to compete for the Golden Bear at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival.[2][3] At Berlin it won the Jury Grand Prix,[4] as well as FIPRESCI prize for films shown in competition.[5] It was selected as the Bosnian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 89th Academy Awards but it was not nominated.[6][7]

    Reception[edit]

    The film received mixed reviews.[8][9] Jay Weissberg praised the film in Variety as an "expertly modulated choral drama".[10] Stephen Dalton writing for The Hollywood Reporter gave a negative review, noting, "The take-home message that historical narratives are always complex and contentious, especially in the Balkans, is unquestionably true but hardly a profound insight. Not quite a political thriller, not quite a provocative drama, not quite an inspired stage adaptation, Death in Sarajevo is a minor addition to Tanović's illustrious body of work."[11]

    Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that the film has an overall approval rating of 76%, based on 17 reviews, with an average rating of 7.5/10.[12]
