But then other daring films have recently met with a similarly outraged response, namely Brillante Mendoza’s brilliant and disturbing Kinatay and Michael Winterbottom’s haunting psychological thriller The Killer Inside Me. The response to the film in Sitges, London and other places – the lab in Germany burned the print of the film they had made when they saw it – has been irritatingly prudish and misses the point. As in the 1990s in Serbia, it is filled with monstrous happenings. The film possesses a genuine sense of dread and the characters who survive literally cannot live with the knowledge of what they have gone through. But it’s meant to shock and illustrate the horrors of violence and sexual violence, even if towards the end, the images are so extreme that they shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

The actions portrayed in A Serbian Film are indeed grotesque and of course it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s a genre film but it’s clearly a metaphor for the carnage that took place in the Yugoslav wars as men, women and children were massacred everyday people became murderers desentitised to violence and killing, rape became a widespread form of political control and the Milosevic government led the population on in a wave of nationalistic fervour and media control. The story of an aging porn star given the chance to make one last lucrative movie by a mysterious millionaire, the film becomes a descent into hell as his benefactor is actually a depraved puppetmaster, turning the man into a killer and violator of all he holds dear. Last year the British Board Of Film Classification demanded some 50 cuts before it could be released on DVD in the UK and it was pulled from the Frightfest lineup in London in August.īut Srdjan Spasovjevic’s film is far more well-made and intelligent than it is being given credit for.

The shocking horror movie has been stoking up controversy for months now and was recently behind a complaint filed by Barcelona public prosecutors against the Sitges Film Festival director Angel Sala accusing him of screening child pornography.
