Rating: One Thumb Up

This movie is awfully dark, sick, twisted, senile......I can't begin to list all the words this movie is. But I would be unfair if I didn't recognize this movie for what it truly is. A work of art. 

I will admit to having being scared to watch this movie alone at first. When you read reviews about it, they make you think twice about even watching the movie. But one thing about my mind.....I have a very strange imagination and appetite for the unknown. If that makes sense.

I will tell you what A Serbian Film is NOT. It's not unicorns and rainbows, that's for sure. It's not ghosts and goulies and spirits haunting you. It's not supernatural manifestations. This movie is SHOCK VALUE AT ITS FINEST. It's a test to see how long you can last. No wonder it's been banned in several countries across the globe.

Milos is an aging porn star, but he's trying to retire from the business. He is offered a hard-to-turn-down proposition from Vukmir, a mysterious porn producer. Milos and his family is guaranteed financial security as long as he takes the deal. The only catch is that he cannot know anything about the film he is starring in. His only rules are to show up and play the role. 

As the film progresses, Milos is beginning to become uncomfortable at the events taking place and proceeds to asking more questions. Vukmir is strong in his position. This film will continue whether Milos wants it to or not. And Milos will soon discover that the film is not over until Vukmir says it's over.

Now Milos is fighting to save his life. 

As sick as this movie is, it is very well written. The plot is great. The directing is great. The acting is good. It makes for a great foreign film. 

I both recommend and not recommend this movie for all to see. This movie is a work of art, and I suggest all to watch it and take it for what it truly is. On the flip side, if your stomach is not made of stone and you are grossed out easily, this film is not for you. This film is truly not for the faint of heart. Once you watch this movie, you cannot unwatch it. It will stay in the back of your mind forever. The events that take place. The sights you see. The whole concept of the story will both engross and entice you at the same time.

Trudge lightly. Proceed with caution. Watch carefully. 

Peace.
