Review of A Serbian Film (2010) by John T — 01 Feb 2011

Deliberately provocative to the point of exploitation this is very much a techno-Salo done in an Eastern European MTV style. It isn't as exciting as that I'm afraid as the exploitation is more just extreme porn rather than anything else.

I've seen enough depraved films to suggest that what the director was trying to get across could have been done so much more easily and effectively by reining it in. Unfortunately Spasojevic can't help himself and after an interesting start the film manages to go beyond even the ludicrousness of its central plot.
