Sevdah za Karima

A very nice and sad movie. In this movie you find the love, friendship,religion, memory of wars. As a Kurd I can imagine how much people in Bosnian and Ex Jegoslapvia have suffered.

The story is pretty interesting. The script and the dialogues seem much realistic and objective. They are reflecting the real life in Sarajevo. The movie has much emotion which follows the main character Karim, who is pretty straightforward, smart and rational, but yet confused and concerned about his future and his life in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He observes the today's world in which we live and brings the Western democracy and Islamic law in question. The movie shows his inner fight with himself, exposing it with his social context. Karim fells in temptation and passes through some outrageous experiences with his friends. The experiences disagree to the morality and ethics of Islam, thereby he comes to an inner conflict and the story gets more complicated. Although the movie is a social drama, the funny dialogues and some situations bring some humor in it and as well there is some philosophical talking present to keep the viewer thinking about. It has a balanced mix of action, drama, erotic, humor and thrill which deliver us different emotions in different points of view. I think it is a well balanced concept. The production is not bad although you can see that it is not a big budget film, the actors are convincing and the music is OK. I say it is worth to watch.
