Review of A Serbian Film (2010) by Francisco G — 09 Oct 2012
The line between an angry statement and pure exploitation on this one is really really thin. But overall, the movie doesn't fall on it's gross premise.
Taking out the worse out of the way first: some violent scenes are just waaaay too over the top to be shocking and are almost, dare I say, laughable? (SPOILER______ eyeball rape? seriously?______ SPOILER END).
The acting can be a bit out of place at times and some characters deserved some more screen time, though I think that maybe if they had, things could go worse (main character's brother).
On the positive side of things, it's masterfully shot, the theme is handled really well with strong exagerated metaphors (that I don't mind when they have an actual purpose) and will certainly leave a scar on your mind.
As many have said, you'll love this and hate it at the same time and probably won't be coming back for it again.
