Funny, smart, beautiful and filled with light, "Burek" is a delight of a movie. The cosmopolitan cast is outstanding (especially the brothers Sergej and Bane Trifunovic). It is amazing how many characters and story lines intersect in the film, how the story unfolds, keeps interest and builds for the finale. Anybody who is familiar with that part of the world will also appreciate the subtext of the stories (and not only that part of the world, as two of the many leads are also British and American). Although there is quite a bit of ironic commentary in Burek, it is never mean-spirited, but genuinely funny. We laugh with with the characters, not at them. "Burek" is a film of hope and optimism - it will put a smile on your face.
