A Serbian Film

[GiveMeGore]

Wow.......    that pretty much sums up this picture. Holy shit stain balls. Someone please see this so I can discuss this twisted 100 minutes of fucking nuttiness.

Retried porn star is now a family man. Hurting on cash, gets an offer from a former "co-worker" and is offered a project he can't refuse. Director tells him he cannot see the script. "Just go with it" he says. And that's when it starts.

Brutal doesnt begin to tell the story here, my friends. I've never in my life seen some of these things they show on film. Man, they don't give a fuck overseas what gets released, huh? Compared to over here anyways. There are two deaths by dick here. Two deaths......caused........by a cock. Nothing else but.

Someone see this.

Should be. My buddy owns it on Blu-Ray. It's available on amazon, although there were warnings that the version available is cut. Try and find the Unrated version (NC-17 available on amazon)

First 35-40 minutes is a beautifully acted, well directed film with interesting, engaging, and extremely likeable characters (mainly the family). You just gotta be able to watch a little porno, that's all.

Then the second half. Yikes. Ummmmm.......   You gotta be comfortable with watching extremely disturbing sexual acts. (might be the biggest understatment in the history of this forum).

Quick snap shot of a review over at Fangoria from last year: Apparently at one screening, the guy responsible for the screening/festival was arrested on child pornography charges. Yeah....this is legit.

We all know the controversy: people have walked out of the screenings, exhibitors have been arrested, it’s been banned in countless areas, and even Netflix has refused to be associated with this film. It took the cast iron balls of the folks at Invincible Pictures to properly release A SERBIAN FILM and give it the respect it deserves. It’s a good movie, and I’ll tell you why shortly, but I must preface my praise with this – you probably shouldn’t watch this film. It is everything you think it is and sometimes it’s a little bit worse than you think it might be. But, like myself, I know horror fans are driven and compelled to absorb the unknown and controversial. Simply because I have told you not to watch this film means most of you are going to finish this review and run at breakneck speed to watch A SERBIAN FILM. But you have been warned. This film is incredibly disturbing…

Somewhere in the deep recesses of my brain I have a list of disturbing movies that, no matter how hard I try, I will never forget. I can never un-watch them. When I mentally recall these movies, I still get the same churning stomach bleak and disgusted feeling I felt when I first watched them. And it is not by any means gore related. I can cheer my way through MERMAID IN A MANHOLE and find a certain eloquence in the oozing body fluids, but yet Catherine Breillat’s FAT GIRL, for instance, will haunt me till my last dying breath. I can now add A SERBIAN FILM to the list.

The film tells the story of Milos, a porn actor who is looking for his last big role before he can retire from the industry and live out his days happily with his wife and son. He takes one last film gig from a mysterious and wealthy porn director named Vukmir. Milos gets wary when he starts being directed to perform some pretty disturbing acts like having sex with abused women and watching “newborn porn”. Yes, you read that correctly, and you can’t unread it. Try actually seeing it. See, I warned you. ..

Milos tries to quit, but is kidnapped, drugged, and then wakes up days later only to find a stack of tapes documenting what went on during the past few days. What went on? It is like a checklist of every form of depravity. Really I feel like the writer just searched through topics and actions that would touch on humanities most basic sacred ideals and then fucked them, literally.

So the ultimate goal of a reviewer is to decide whether or not they liked the film and would recommend it to the audience. No, I would never recommend this to gen pop. I cant say I like A SERBIAN FILM, but I do have a lot of respect for it. Subject matter aside, the filmmaking is breathtaking. Gorgeous lighting paints each scene in a misty diffused mix of shadow and light. The grungy production design bleeds and screams almost as much as the characters. Even the carnage has a brilliant quality to it. The blood-splatter is vivid in the film’s stark industrial setting. The effects are graphic and visceral, gritty and unrestrained. The acting…well, this movie would not get the strong reactions it does it the acting was not equally believable, so much so you become invested in these characters enough to feel the depravity along with them.

I made it through Visitor Q and Gozu, does that count?  I'm also pretty sure I've seen a majority of the types of porn in existence, including some things that are 100% illegal and I was worried I might get arrested for accidentally downloading.  I've seen some real things I can't ever unsee, so movies seem kind of tame in comparison.  Not to say that this movie sounds like a walk in the park or anything...

Ummmmm....that's actually a pretty good question Traum. Comparing this to a Takeshi Miike film is very interesting. He pulls off some tourture and rape, to extreme levels.....   but Siberian Film is different. This entire flick is driven on pure sexuality in some fucked up forms, to say the least. Miike usually throws some weird sexual scene or two in there (Soup Laddel from Gozo, anyone?) but I don't think he's ever reached the depravity levels Siberian does. And that's a pretty fucked up statement. You'll definitely have no problem watching it, it's the tattoo it leaves on you afterwards.

Thought you might find this interesting, Vamp.

Real audio of a screaming baby in pain?  Nope, not for me.  And the ending was completely laughable.

at the end of the day, it's still just a movie...... 

One of my favorite parts was when he decapitates that girl while having sex....    You don't see that too often   

my buddies obsession with the flick is pretty funny though....    every time I walk into his apt and see the dog I go "heeeeeey, what's up, King of FUCK"
