Sixth Bus

Finally a telling of the story that conveys empathy for humans on both sides of this tragic conflict. Galic tells the story with a pace that allows the viewer to get to know the characters and the town. At the heart of it, this is a movie about friendship and brotherly love, and the madness of war. Men caught up in identification with their tribes forgetting about the humanity of other men. The movie is well acted and there is a certain innocence the actors convey while also expressing a weariness of life, of conflict, of governments who cannot coexist. Most importantly this movie accurately expresses the toughness and grit of the Croatian and Serbian people while also expressing their big heartedness, their love of county, and their love of friendship and social connection. If you want to understand more about this area of the world and its people, watch The Sixth Bus.

Great story, perfect music, great directing by old school film maker Eduard Galic. His experience you can see in every single shot. Nice way to approach and tell this sad story and do a movie about such delicate theme.

The Sixth Bus is a gripping, human-centered take on the battle of Vukovar, showing the war's impact beyond just the battlefield. It digs into identity, friendship, and the way war makes people forget each other's humanity. The film takes its time, letting you connect with the characters and feel the weight of their world. It's raw, tragic, but also full of heart, capturing both the toughness and deep sense of connection among the people caught in the conflict. With strong performances and a haunting soundtrack, it's more than just a war film-it's about memory, loss, and trying to make sense of the past. Highly enjoyable!

Unfortunately, this film did not convey the desired emotions to me! The film is certainly better than most films from the 90s that dealt with the subject of the Vukovar tragedy. But this flick is not that one! We're still waiting for THAT movie.

Don't believe reviews with 10 stars! This movie is for a maximum of 5 stars. I wasn't so generous.

The SIXTH BUS is a movie you need to see to comment on. And several times. Because in the film, every scene and every character has its own context, its personal history and values. The film far exceeds expectations because it places the battle for Vukovar in a different environment and dimensions yet supported by facts and human values.

The actors, directors and producers, as well as the masters of tone and make-up, did an excellent job, and if we add to that an impressive musical background, there is only one recommendation: Watch to comment!

Excellent Rade Vulin, Marko Petric, Masa Dordevic, Zala Djuric, Zivko Anocic, Pavle Matusko, a remarkable story that places Croatian film on a higher level!
