Without giving too much away, it is enough to repeat an advice that he gives at the very highpoint of the movie. But, can it really make the world go round? Answer comes later. He immediately dislodges his estranged wife Lucija and his son Martin from the reclaimed property and, initially, it looks like he's winning and that money can fix everything.

Coming back to Herzegovina, to his birthplace where he's spent his childhood and teenage years, he flaunts his wealth, showing off with his expensive car and young wife, willing to get even with whoever might have done him wrong in the past. His chance to return comes at the beginning of 1990's, after decline of previous, rather totalitarian system and opening for democratic changes. He managed to make a good living abroad, but, after 20 years in exile, couldn't wait more to come back. Particular time and place provide the setting for Tanović's latest movie, Cirkus Columbia (2010), based on the novel written by Ivica Đikić, telling the story of Divko Buntić (who, in his own self-ironic words, rather than just gone mad, has always been mad), descending from the family on the losing side of WWII, whose uneasy life among privileged descendants of WWII winners forced him to emigrate. Anyone slightly interested in global politics already knows the sad story of a certain Balkan super state, which was in a 'good ol' days' thriving to considerable extent on worldwide-basically, American (and its post WWII interested allies)-Russian (and its willy-nilly 'satellites')-polarization and then, at the end of the Cold War, 'allowed' by the same global powers to violently fall apart and dissolve.

Danis Tanović, a well deserving Academy Award winner in the category of Foreign Language Film with his very first feature movie, after two respectable international attempts-L'enfer (2005) and Triage (2009)-both dealing with certain universal subjects, geographically located outside the country of his origin (Bosnia and Herzegovina), in his fourth movie comes back home and scores again.
