Eighty years ago last month, the Axis powers invaded the former Yugoslavia during the Second World War. A new Serbian film,
Dara of Jasenovac, depicts the systematic extermination of Serbs which followed under the Nazi-puppet government of the Independent State of Croatia. Despite consultation with reputable historians during production and a screenplay based upon witness testimony, its release has generated controversy among international film critics. An examination of the English-speaking reception to the Serbian entry for the 93rd Academy Awards shows a boilerplate negative response and pseudo-journalistic pile-on that is part of an anti-Serb bias in Western media ever since the NATO war on Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Despite recent attempts at closer relations with the West, Serbophobia remains a fixture in corporate media on account of Belgrade’s strong historical ties with Moscow amid the New Cold War between the U.S. and Russia.

There Are Only 13 Near-Perfect War Movies According To Metacritic Summit Entertainment
By Zoë Z. Dean/May 18, 2021 4:17 pm EDT/Updated: May 18, 2021 4:17 pm EDT War movies sound like they would all have a lot in common, but the top-rated ones on Metacritic prove the genre is wider and deeper than you might think. Not all the movies are even about soldiers. Some of the best films on this list take place on the edges of war, looking at what happens to spies or even displaced civilians. Some tackle war directly, making it their primary subject, and some only use it as a catalyst to look at people in a crisis. But all these films hit hard and stay with us.
