The Waiting Room is the second feature from Igor Drljaca, who came to Canada from Sarajevo in 1993. The Waiting Room plays out like a kind of cinematic dare: is it possible to make a war movie that doesn’t feature a single moment of armed conflict? Part of him still yearns for old Yugoslavia – “We had no crime,” he mutters angrily. At the very least, the conflict looms, spectre-like, over the present. Just as Jasko can’t quite quit the no-longer-existent nation of Yugoslavia, it is possible he is haunted by a ghost from his past.
