Battle of Kosovo (Serbo-Croatian: Бој на Косову, Boj na Kosovu) is a 1989 Yugoslav historical drama/war film filmed in Serbia. The film was based on the drama written by poet Ljubomir Simović.[1] It depicts the historical Battle of Kosovo between Medieval Serbia and the Ottoman Empire which took place on 15 June 1389 (according to the Julian calendar, 28 June 1389 by the Gregorian calendar) in a field about 5 kilometers northwest of Pristina.
The film was released in 1989, which marked the 600th anniversary of the Battle. However, according to Serbian historian Olivera Milosavljevic, the film "said more about the political context of the 1980s than about...1389".[1] Other academics have backed this sentiment, criticizing the film's historical accuracy and pointing to the film's support of Serbian nationalism.[2]
