I have had the unfortunate pleasure of seeing A SERBIAN FILM in both cut and uncut formats. To be honest the bark is worse than the bite with the film, I didn’t think it was ‘as bad’ as people made it out to be (either that or I have been far too desensitised). The film is well made, but it just fell flat to me and I think director Srdjan Spasojevic took his metaphors to an insane level.
The film will finally be available on DVD and Blu-ray next Tuesday, and you can make up your own mind about it.
Milos, a retired porn star, leads a normal family life with his wife Maria and six-year old son Petar in tumultuous Serbia, trying to make ends meet. A sudden call from his former colleague Layla will change everything. Aware of his financial problems, Layla introduces Milos to Vukmir – a mysterious, menacing and politically powerful figure in the pornographic business.
A leading role in Vukmir’s production will provide financial support to Milos and his family for the rest of their lives. A contract insists on his absolute unawareness of a script they will shoot. From then on, Milos is drawn into a maelstrom of unbelievable cruelty and mayhem devised by his employer, “the director” of his destiny. Vukmir and his cohorts will stop at nothing to complete his vision.
In order to escape the living cinematic hell he’s put into, and save his family’s life, Milos will have to sacrifice everything – his pride, his morality, his sanity, and maybe even his own life.
