A Serbian Film, cinema’s bête noire of 2010, is getting a release on Blu-ray and DVD on 3rd January. Some were repulsed by it and others attracted like a moth to a flame. Even critics who didn’t hate it said it was disgusting. Has this made you want to see it yet?
Nothing says Happy New Year like this traumatising arthouse monstrosity. Once seen you’ll never forget it, put it that way.
I didn’t care for it, in fact I hated its guts, FilmShaft’s Cheryl Carter braved a screening for us (read her review here, and Alan Simmons offered an alternative view here.

Remember that notorious Serbian horror about the pedophilia and necrophilia themed snuff film? Well amazingly the flick, simply entitled 'A Serbian Film', that has managed to get screenings banned at plenty of festivals over the past few months has managed to cut and grab itself a UK theatrical release. The Srdjan Spasojevic helmed project, written by Serbian horror film critic Aleksandar Radivojevic ('Tears for Sale') is set to arrive in our theatres this December. The movie stars a whole host of actors whose names I won't even attempt to pronounce out loud including Srdjan Todorovic, Sergej Trifunovic, Jelena Gavrilovic, Katarina Zutic, Slobodan Bestic, Ana Sakic, Lena Bogdanovic, Luka Mijatovic and Andjela Nenadovic. 'Milos is a retired porn star leading a normal family life with his wife Maria and six-year old son Petar in tumultuous Serbia, trying to make ends meet.

Directed by Srdjan Spasojevic
Written by Srdjan Spasojevic and Aleksandar Radivojevic
Featuring Srdjan Todorovic, Sergej Trifunovic, Jelena Gavrilovic, Katarina Zutic, Slobodan Bestic, Lena Bogdanovic
A Serbian Film is supposed to be the most incredibly horrific film experience of this decade. Why am I not impressed, then?
Okay, maybe it’s because I’m jaded. The only films that have had any real effect on my psyche this decade are Irreversible, The Stoning of Soraya M, and 2 Girls 1 Cup. Those films made me stop and think about the violence and gave me a horrific rush of emotional and mental turmoil. And those aren’t even horror movies. I really get a kick out of sick movies; the gorier, the better, so I was extremely excited to see A Serbian Film, the latest thing out of the once-communist, now-democratic, self-deprecating nation that was once a part of Yugoslavia in Eastern Europe being...

Guaranteed to be one of the most controversial films in years, A Serbian Film is nothing if not intense in its brutal imagery and fervent in its social commentary. Thankfully, director/producer/co-screenwriter Srdjan Spasojevic, co-screenwriter Aleksandar Radivojevic, and producer Nikola Pantelic were on hand to explain some of that commentary at the film's Canadian premiere at Fantasia. We were there and managed to capture some of it for posterity. In a lengthy Q&A session after the screening, Radivojevic defended the extreme violence and disturbing situations in A Serbian Film, explaining that it's all a metaphor for current living conditions in Serbia, and that the powers that be screw you as soon as you're out of the womb and continue screwing you for life, not even stopping after you're dead. This dark outlook on life aside, the tone of the session was surprisingly light considering the intensity of the film itself.

Where to begin? Well, let's just say right off the bat that first-time director Srdjan Spasojevic's A Serbian Film - the centerpiece of Fantasia's Subversive Serbia Spotlight - will easily go down as one of the most controversial films of all time. It is repulsive, disturbing, and downright offensive and yet it is also very well-acted, has a brilliant electronic score composed by Sky Wikluh, and Spasojevic has a deft hand behind the camera that pushes the most disturbing scenes to the limit (often over the limit). What's it about, you ask? Milos (Srdjan Todorovic, one of Serbia's most famous actors) is a retired porn star whose savings are dwindling and who is presented with the opportunity to make one last film so that he and his young family will be set for life. The catch? He's to star in the film without the benefit of even seeing a script...

Remember in my last entry when I asked where the good horror movies were this year? Well, I think they ground them all up and crammed the resulting mess of a thousand repellent movies into just one: A Serbian Film (review here).
The screening went off without the histrionics of past festivals, largely due to the presence of the well spoken director (Srdjan Spasojevic), co-writer (Aleksander Radivojevic), and producer (Nikola Pantelic), who repeatedly reminded the audience that the onscreen atrocities were meant to be viewed metaphorically in light of Serbia’s violent history and that, after all, it was just a movie. Nonetheless, viewpoints were polarized, and now, even three days later, people are still talking about the film, some arguing that the metaphors are puerile and that the result is no better than your average torture porn, and maybe worse in light of the filmmakers’ hesitation to admit their true ambitions.

During the introduction to SXSW's world premiere of Serbian Film (a/k/a Srpski Film)—quite easily the sickest, most depraved film I've ever had the pleasure (okay, that's grossly inaccurate, but it also wasn't entirely a displeasure) to see on a big screen—Alamo Drafthouse founder Tim League suggested a piece of cinema this extreme demanded the most extreme tequila shot ever consumed. League, myself and four others got on stage, snorted a line of salt (the agony!), slammed a shot, then squeezed a fresh lime into our eyeballs (the horror!), quite easily the dumbest bet I've agreed to since my twenties. From the official SXSW synopsis:
Milosh, 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. She introduces Milosh to Vukmir—mysterious,...

Of all the films generating buzz at this year's South by Southwest, perhaps the most notorious is a Serbian film titled, well, A Serbian Film. Directed by Srdjan Spasojevic, co-written by Aleksandar Radivojevic, and starring Srdjan Todorovic, it's the tale of a retired porn star turned family man who's hired to participate in a horrifying new project. A Serbian Film is supposedly an allegory about the current state of Serbia, as well as an extreme exploitation film, and it's received more than its share of Tweetage. Check out what people are saying, along with the film's Nsfw trailer, after the jump. Ain't It Cool News' Quint (a.k.a. Eric Vespe) comments,...

Review by: Dejan Ognjanovic
Rating: 10 out of 10
A Serbian Film is the most shocking film you're likely to see this year – or any year soon. And the most shocking thing about it is how well made, well acted and poignant it is.
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to realize that A Serbian Film is not exactly the kind of fare you want to see with your mom. What with the story of an ex-porn star accepting one last job so he can sustain his impoverished family in today's Serbia, and the uber-sick underworld he stumbles upon in which pornography, war criminals and State Security are linked in ways unimaginable, yet so logical. Our star chances upon the kind of movies that can only be made where human life is very cheap!
Oh, yes; there are hints of snuff here.

Less than a week worth of recovering from the Sundance Film Festival, and we are already looking forward to our next, big film fest coverage. That would be the South by Southwest Film Festival held annually in Austin, Texas. Last year, Scott and I brought you all kinds of coverage from the Lone Star State, and this year doesn’t look to be much different.
With that, the announcement came last night of the feature films that will be playing at the SXSW Film Festival. Previous announcement were already made about films like Cold Weather, Electra Luxx, Hubble 3D, Lemmy, Saturday Night, and The White Stripes: Under Great White Northern Lights making their debut. Kick-ass was recently announced as the opening night film, as well.
Among the other films being presented this year are some Sundance darlings, a few, highly anticipated premieres, and MacGruber.

I was so excited at seeing the SXSW line up last night that I completely forgot to post it and started searching the interwebs for cool content to go with it. Oops. Yes, I wish I was there but alas, it wasn’t mean to be (though don’t despair. We’ll be bringing you wicked awesome coverage).
But enough rambling, you want to know what’s all playing. Well, for a start there’s the much anticipated McGruber (trailer), the Duplass’ semi-mainstream comedy Cyrus, Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Micmacs (trailer, review), Daniel Stamm’s horror flick Cotton and that’s on top of the previously announced titles which include Electra Luxx (Carla Gugino as a pregnant porn star? Bring. It. On.) and Kick-Ass (trailer). That’s already a great line-up but dear me, some of the other titles are pretty awesome too.

With so many films to watch, it will be very difficult to find time to seem them all during the events nine days. But hell, we’re going to try.

The list is rife with hot world premieres (Kick-Ass), films fresh from Sundance (The Runaways, Cyrus), hot titles from the 2009 editions of Tiff and Cannes that haven't had much U.S. play (Enter the Void, Dogtooth, Trash Humpers), interesting documentaries (Lemmy, The People v.
