A cinema screening "Memoirs of a Geisha" Bosnian cinemas are offering refuge to the wives and children of the country's football-mad men during the World Cup with a series of "soft" films, including the Columcia Pictures hit. Bosnian cinemas are offering refuge to the wives and children of the country's football-mad men during the World Cup with a series of "soft" films. A number of cinemas in the northwestern city of Banja Luka said they were putting on a special selection of romantic flicks and cartoons to accommodate the World Cup "refugees". Although Bosnia failed to qualify for the tournament being staged in Germany, most men in Banja Luka, the administrative centre of Bosnia's Serb entity, are ardent supporters of Serbia and Montenegro. Among the movies on offer for the women abandoned during the World Cup are "Casanova," a saga of the world's best known lover, a big-screen version Jane Austin's novel "Pride and Predjudice" and "Memoirs of a Geisha". A series of cartoons were also being provided for children in the city, including "Ice Age 2". "We've organised this so that husbands would be able to watch football games at home or in cafe bars without being interrupted," a cinema employee said. Due to strong demand, Banja Luka's many cafe bars have been forced to bring in extra television sets for the World Cup, which began on June 9 and continues until July 9. (Agencies)

波斯尼亞的電影院在世界杯期間成了球迷妻兒們的“收容所”，為他們放映一系列的“溫情”電影。 據西北部城市巴尼亞盧卡的很多影院介紹，影院專門為這些“世界杯難民”放映了一系列浪漫影片和卡通片。 雖然波斯尼亞沒有晉級本屆德國世界杯賽，但是在波斯尼亞的塞爾維亞行政中心巴尼亞盧卡，大多數男人都是塞黑隊的忠實支持者。 為“世界杯寡婦”放映的影片包括世界最著名的情圣傳奇《卡薩諾瓦》、簡·奧斯丁小說的同名電影《傲慢與偏見》和《藝妓回憶錄》。 此外，影院還為兒童放映了一些動畫片，其中包括《冰川時代2》。 一位影院工作人員說：“我們這樣做是為了讓男人們能夠安心在家或是在餐館里看比賽，免受打擾。” 由于顧客強烈要求觀看球賽，巴尼亞盧卡的很多餐館不得不多添置電視機。本屆世界杯賽于6月9日開幕，將一直持續到7月9日。 (英語點津姍姍編輯)
