The Wounds

"A clever pair of teenage criminals, by turns brilliantly entrepreneurial and murderously callous, flippantly rise to destructive success in this stunning film set in war-torn Bosnia.Comical and cruel, Pinki and Kraut master the use of violence to achieve the power and fame they crave.In a world in which humanity and morality seem to have vanished, the boys grow quickly and willingly take their mentor's places, yet perversely put childish antics and a desire to prove their toughness ahead of survival.Based on actual events, this is a fast paced portrait of a wounded country and its people not to be missed."-New Directors/New Films 1999 Catalogue
