Somebody had to make this thread.

Here we have a film whose plot centres around an aging retired porn star who gets in over his head with a group of over the top pornographers who take things to the ultimate extreme.

That's really all there is to sum up the plot without getting into the gory details. As OJ said in the Recently Watched thread this is certainly not a film for everyone. In fact it's probably not a film for most tastes. It's beyond extreme and seemingly covers every taboo that hasn't really been done to death already in genre films. A Serbian Film is destined to become one of those films talked about in hushed tones years from now and sought out by the curious, much like Salo or Nekromantik were years ago (at least before you could find virtually anything via the internet). Very stong stuff indeed.

Shock value aside, the film itself is actually very well done and boasts a very dark serious tone thoughout. This is a film destined to be reviled for years to come. I think genre fans should really take the opportunity to watch this while it's still new. This is film history in the making, at least as far as obscure underground films go. You may like it,  - most will hate it - but it needs to be seen.

This film needs more baby.

The cord should have still been attached to smiling mommy.

I downloaded it last night after i read what OJ had to say about it.  Will viddy soon.

Oi! Possible Spoilers Ahead!



As a shock movie Srpski Film is pretty meh but as movie in general it was pretty good, definitely a chart topper for modern exploitation.

When I say the movie is "pretty meh" it's because I thought the 'shock' aspects of it became quite silly at times, most notably the skull fucking bit, or in general it was predictable. Like most shock titles when you watch them, if you stop and think "Alright, if I wanted to do something that was shocking what would I do here?" So the reveal in the end with the family and the brother wasn't too much of shocker, even though the scene is still quite vile.

With that being said, as a standard movie though it was really good a lot better than one would expect from a title like this. It's a great tale of madness of a character who's world is destroyed with sex. I've heard people compare this movie to a number of different shock films but I think the one I find it most comparable to is Last House on Dead End Street. In fact it almost felt like a reflection of that movie but where Last House was about the rise and fall of the maker, Srpski is about the rise and fall of the star. The movie blends the right amount of beauty with its cinematography with brutal and unrelenting violence to the point that it kind tears at you; you want to look away but you can't.

The movie has a lot to offer a viewer other than being just a mere shocking thrill ride, that's why I think those who watch it who are ultimately looking just to be grossed out shouldn't bother. Because I have a feeling this movie is going to be used as a "who's got the bigger dick" contest and make claims like, "it shocked my friends but it didn't bother me" or "that part made me laugh."

As long as people are willing to treat it like any other exploitive film then they will get the most out of the movie's story of a man who goes on a downward spiral and is destroyed by the one thing that made him who he is and gave him the life that he had. As well as being able to appreciate the overall production value and especially the wonderful cinematography.

That's just my take on it though. While I did enjoy it and I thought the movie was well made I really don't see myself going back for repeated viewings since it's the kind of movie where it really isn't necessary.

Uhh, A Serbian Film was a comedy right? I mean, it was so over the top it was funny. I guess we're just both so desensitized, but honestly there wasn't anything I haven't seen before. It wasn't very shocking, and I didn't know anything about it going in. It was also very predictable.

*shrug*

Perhaps both of you are just dead on the inside
