Fuse, seen on April 3 at the Wisconsin Film Festival...reviewed a wee bit late. What can I say?

From the bit of blurb that I had read before seeing the film (small Bosnian town tries to get things together in preparation for a visit from Bill Clinton) I guess I had been expecting a screwball comedy. After all, that kind of set-up (getting ready for a visti froma famous visitor) has been a staple of sitcoms for years. In actuality, though there were plenty of comedic moments to the film, the darker, more somber edge is what carried it. Death, sadness, prostitution, explosions...

At times moving, at times confusing, this movie definitely made me think.
