There’s a new kind of porn film, “artistic porn,” hitting Serbia and Lejla thinks Milos would be perfect for it. But Milos was more than a porn star he was the most famous porn star who could “degrade his partners and then have them loving him by the end of the scene.” It’s because of this reputation that he’s approached by one of his former co-stars Lejla (Katarina Zutic) about a huge money-making opportunity, but he needs to come out of retirement. Money is tight and there really aren’t that many opportunities out there for a retired porn star. But the reality is that Milos is struggling to support them in modern day Serbia. He has a beautiful wife and young son and seems happy when around his loving family. The film begins with following around Milos (Srdjan Todorovic), a retired Serbian porn star as he goes about his daily routine. Milos enjoying some quiet time at home with his family. After thinking about this film for the last few days I must say that, putting aside it’s political messages, this is indeed a solid film with strong performances, fantastic editing, and great cinematography. But the question, the only question that matters at the end of the day, is whether A SERBIAN FILM is a good film. Hell even the title of the film even tells us this is specifically a Serbian film. This film IS a political film it was made to be viewed through a political lense. But I wanted to go into it with no expectations as to it’s message. I wanted to watch this as I do every other film and if I picked up on the political messages and metaphors contained within it then fine. My approach to watching A SERBIAN FILM was to try and ignore all the overt political messages contained within the film. I know how I feel and what I think about A SERBIAN FILM, but it seems that I’m having difficulty expressing those thoughts and feelings.

This is without a doubt one of the most difficult film I’ve had to review.

I’ve written, deleted, and re-written my review of this film three times. I was able to get a copy of the uncut, unrated version and there’s no doubt that this film is filled with disturbing images, explicit sexual situations, graphic violence, and troubling subject matter that made even this jaded, desensitized reviewer cringe. We all know the details surrounding A SERBIAN FILM.
