Review of Dara of Jasenovac

Although its depiction of violence often overshadows the underlying messages of racism and fascism, 'Dara of Jasenovac' is still a well-crafted exploration of the survival of the human spirit. The movie is exquisitely shot. The light throughout is never garish, and it beautifully illuminates the actors inhabiting the bleak setting. Strong performance by lead actress Biljana Cekic and the rest of the cast is brilliant in their own right as well.
