Serbian Epics
dir. Pawel Pawlikowski
UK, 1992, 45′
The year is 1992, and the now-famous director Pawel Pawlikowski is filming the siege of Sarajevo. He avoids the usual clichés of war reporting, instead focusing on criminals who seem unusually happy to be in front of the cameras. In the company of Radovan Karadžić, Momčilo Krajišnik, Ratko Mladić, and Biljana Plavšić, there is also the Russian beatnik, dissident, and former darling of Western publishers, Eduard Limonov, whose image will be forever changed by scenes of him shooting at Sarajevo.
