Blu-ray Review – Lost Country

The vastness of political conflict and terror is handed an intimate treatment in 2023’s “Lost Country.” Co-writer/director Vladimir Perisic returns viewers to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1996, examining the woes of the region during the government rule of Slobodan Milosevic and a key election that inspired the formation of revolution. Perisic doesn’t show much interest in the fine details of the unfolding situation, instead using such tension to power a study of a mother and her son, examining the pair as their once tight relationship is challenged by the reality of the world around them. “Lost Country” is committed to silent moments of reflection and visual communication, giving the feature an interesting presence as it burns quietly.
