![]() ![]() It's an exhibitionistic catalogue of taboo-obliterating, nausea-inducing atrocities … but then, so is war, especially when it happens in your backyard. ![]() A Serbian Film is unforgettably disturbing and disturbingly unforgettable, and it overwhelms you in a dizzying, sickening rush, not unlike Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust, Gaspar Noé's Irréversible, or Michael Haneke's Funny Games, minus the fun and the games but with the Balkans’ blood-soaked recent history on its side and as its fundamental raison d'être. Once seen, one cannot unsee this headlong rush into the darkest corners of the inhuman heart. Is A Serbian Film one of the most artistically audacious anti-war statements ever made? Or is it a vile and contemptible piece of subtorture-porn excrement, a sick movie about, for, and by jaded nihilists and "extreme horror" junkies? Make no mistake: Everything you've heard about this film is true (and that includes Eli Roth's "date movie" tweet).
