Taboos involving sexual violence, necrophilia, incest, and pedophilia are lensed with unsparing detail, giving the film an instant sense of notoriety on the festival circuit. And when I say 'unspeakable,' I am not being hyperbolic. However, the director's methods and subjects involve tranquilizing Miloš into a state of catatonia and forcing him to do unspeakable things on camera. So, despite his better instincts, he agrees to star in an artsy porn film by a provocative auteur ( Sergej Trifunović).

Retired porn star Miloš ( Srđan Todorović) is having trouble taking care of his family. To make this point, Spasojević and co-writer Aleksandar Radivojević have crafted a plot that takes us past the point of the underworld.

A Serbian Film puts the entirety of Serbia in its crosshairs its director Srđan Spasojević explicitly comments not just on the broader implications of living in a war-torn, fascist-leaning society and government, but on the specific hypocrisies of this same government funding bourgeois, 'safe' films that seek to whitewash their own atrocities. The bluntness of this film's title should clue you in for the bluntness of its content.
