Is it about society? Politics? I’m not sure. Is it actually about the way that Serbia functions when it comes to creating films? Well, maybe. Is A Serbian Film about something? Its director, Srdan Spasojevic, believes it is. Well, if you go in fully you’ll probably regret it, too, but at least you’ll be given the complete experience, you’ll be aware of the context of the graphic scenes that take place, and you might be able to find some meaning in the events to which you’re forced to bear witness. But that would be a boring movie, so a job offer comes from an “artist” named Vukmir ( Sergej Trifunovic) who wants to hire Milos to star in one last movie.Ī Serbian Film is vile, disgusting, exploitative, graphic, and not the type of film that most of the people who exist on this planet will want to see. He’s married to Marija ( Jelena Gavrilovic), they have a son, Petar ( Luka Mijatovic), and while they don’t have a lot of money given that he no longer works, they’re happy enough with what their lives are.
Our lead is Milos, ( Srdan Todorovic), a retired porn star who has a legendary reputation not only for his … “performances,” but for also being a nice person off-screen. It’s gross, it won’t make you happy to see it, and there’s theoretically a point behind it all, although I get the feeling that most people – including myself, to an extent – are going to simply take the content at face value, discard it because of that, and that’ll be that. A Serbian Film is an exploitation film that you’ll probably only watch if a buddy dares you, or if you like to test your own cinematic limits.
