The Cine Column
No one captures the dizzying, exhausting, and fiercely vibrant absurdity of
human existence quite like Serbian director Emir Kusturica. Set against the bleak backdrop of the Bosnian War in 1992, Life Is a Miracle refuses to surrender to grim tragedy. Instead, it weaponizes grand farce, operatic romance, and even a literal menagerie of animals to argue that, even as the world tears itself apart, life remains stubbornly and beautifully miraculous.
Every frame feels alive—overflowing with background details, slapstick comedy, and a brass‑heavy Balkan soundtrack that pulses with energy. The film is a whirlwind, shifting violently from broad, cartoonish comedy to genuine heartbreak within the span of a single scene. Yet it is precisely this refusal to categorize human emotion that makes it so compelling.
Loud, messy, and fiercely romantic, Life Is a Miracle reminds us that even when humanity is at its worst, the instinct to love, laugh, and survive endures—a miracle that cannot be easily extinguished.
