‘2025 Oscar Nominated Short Films: Live Action’ Review: Optimism and Outrage Battle It Out in Solid Shorts Crop

Kicking off with a robust and multinational lineup, the opening slot goes to “The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent,” a Croatian short film that won the Palme d’Or at Cannes last year. This gripping tale takes place on a train journeying through Bosnia in 1993, with director Nebojša Slijepčević basing his fact-inspired thriller around the tense and unsettling moment when armed men board the train to segregate Muslim passengers. The narrative centers on an ordinary man named Dragan (played by Goran Bogdan), who, despite the ominous atmosphere, realizes the injustice unfolding. However, the intimidating gun-wielding officer (portrayed by Alexis Manenti) is so terrifying that Dragan hesitates to act heroically.
