Review of A Serbian Film (2010) by Benjamin R — 23 Mar 2012
I understand why certain people don't like this film, it's not for everyone, if many at all, but just because it's not something everyone can handle, doesn't make it a bad film. This is a disturbing film.
The point of films like these is to push past the boundaries of acceptability, and once there, the viewer finds no moral to the story, no triumph, and no comfort. They simply have to accept what they've watched, and what they watched will make them think, and feel.
Most people won't be able to do this, so they will choose to simply dismiss what's occurred, be angry that they watched, or some combination of the two. Despite any of that though, the fact remains that this is a good film, and shouldn't be judged as poor simply because a few who weren't prepared to see it, disliked it's point.
On the other hand, this is quite possibly the most disturbing film created until this point, and shouldn't be taken lightly by anyone who chooses to watch it.
