On the Path -- Film Review

BERLIN -- In 2006, Bosnian director Jasmila Zbanic was awarded the Golden Bear at Berlin for her exceptional film "Grbavica," a wrenching story of a mother concealing a nasty secret, born of war, from her beloved daughter. With "On the Path" (Na Putu), a well-crafted if less intense film that offers a complex look at various strains of Islam in contemporary Bosnia, she could quite possibly repeat that feat, especially given the general weakness of the Berlinale competition this year.
