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)

波斯尼亚的电影院在世界杯期间成了球迷妻儿们的“收容所”，为他们放映一系列的“温情”电影。 据西北部城市巴尼亚卢卡的很多影院介绍，影院专门为这些“世界杯难民”放映了一系列浪漫影片和卡通片。 虽然波斯尼亚没有晋级本届德国世界杯赛，但是在波斯尼亚的塞尔维亚行政中心巴尼亚卢卡，大多数男人都是塞黑队的忠实支持者。 为“世界杯寡妇”放映的影片包括世界最著名的情圣传奇《卡萨诺瓦》、简·奥斯丁小说的同名电影《傲慢与偏见》和《艺妓回忆录》。 此外，影院还为儿童放映了一些动画片，其中包括《冰川时代2》。 一位影院工作人员说：“我们这样做是为了让男人们能够安心在家或是在餐馆里看比赛，免受打扰。” 由于顾客强烈要求观看球赛，巴尼亚卢卡的很多餐馆不得不多添置电视机。本届世界杯赛于6月9日开幕，将一直持续到7月9日。 (英语点津姗姗编辑)
