I’m not entirely sure what purpose it has beyond ultra-shock (there’s enough hot button child abuse to turn everyone off), and its take on extreme arty porn as a symptom of impending apocalypse is also perhaps too familiar from the mainstream likes of 8MM or even the David Lynch of Lost Highway to be truly confrontational. This keeps dropping in lines like ‘ahh, a Serbian family’ (over a scene of rape, incest, murder and exploitation of course) and briefly mentions that the villain is like someone you’d meet at the Hague, which – along with the title – suggests a specific national meaning to what is otherwise a remorseless, grim, well-made, horrifying (if guessable – is that a deliberate sense of impending tragedy or just an indictment of how limited our taboos are) picture. NB: these are notes, rather than a review – so expect a ton of spoilers. My 2010 notes on Sprski Film (A Serbian Film), transferred from Facebook – along with a lengthy forum discussion.
