What Fuse Is About

Pjer Žalica’s 2003 film is set in Tešanj two years after the Bosnian war. The town is still half rebuilt when word arrives that Bill Clinton may visit, and under the eye of international observers it has about a week to assemble a democracy that will hold up on camera: reconciliation banners, a sister-city ceremony, a police force that looks like one. Žalica plays this as comedy, but the joke is never the town itself; it is the performance the town is required to stage for people who will not stay long enough to see through it. Everything Bosnia had not managed to bury sits directly underneath. It won the Silver Leopard at Locarno and six prizes in Sarajevo, best film among them.
