In Quo Vadis, Aida?, a final horror in a century filled with horror

In ‘Quo Vadis, Aida?,’ a final horror in a century filled with horror An Oscar nominee for best international picture, the film set in Bosnia in 1995 combines the intensity of a thriller with the force of tragic drama By Ty Burr Globe Staff,Updated March 17, 2021, 12:50 p.m. Email to a Friend Jasna Djuricic in Quo Vadis, Aida?
