"A Serbian Film" is a controversial and highly explicit Serbian horror movie directed by Srdjan Spasojevic, released in 2010. The film tells the story of a retired Serbian porn star, Milos, who is lured out of retirement by a mysterious and wealthy filmmaker named Vukmir. As Milos involuntarily takes part in Vukmir's increasingly sadistic and depraved productions, he is subjected to immense psychological, physical, and sexual torture, pushing the boundaries of on-screen violence and brutality.
Due to its explicit and disturbing content, "A Serbian Film" has been met with significant controversy and censorship in numerous countries. The film contains graphic scenes depicting rape, necrophilia, pedophilia, and extreme violence, challenging taboos and societal norms. Its purpose is to critique the exploitation of performers in the pornography industry and comment on the moral degradation of Serbian society.
The film is often regarded as an extreme example of the "New Extremism" movement in cinema, characterized by its uncompromising and disturbing depiction of violence and sexuality. It has been heavily debated for its artistic value versus allegations of promoting and glorifying violence and sexual abuse. Consequently, "A Serbian Film" has been restricted or banned in several countries due to its explicit nature and considered highly controversial and disturbing even within the horror genre.
