<big><big>A Serbian Film</big></big> CONTAIN SPOILERS

I know this isn't a new movie and this one is controversial, i read an article about "disturbing movies" and it was the n°1 i was like "they said that when saw came out and it wasn't that disturbing" so i watched it.
I decide to write this review so if you ever come across the name of that movie and think about watching it by curiosity you'll know what it is about.
I'm able to take some distance with the scenes and keep in mind it is just a movie, but some people will get really disturbed by this movie.

Before the movie :

I've came across the name of this movie a few times before, never really gave it more attention but tonight i was bored and decided to give it a shot. Read bad comments about it, i don't know any actor/director in this movie so i was intrigued and thought it would either be really good but weird or really bad.

Movie Plot :

Milo is a former porn star who now lives a calm life with his wife and son. He is contacted by a former co-star who tells him that a director named Vukmir wanted to make a porn movie with him and it would pay a lot, having some money issues he decides to do it.
The shooting starts at an orphanage, Milo has no idea of the movie script and Vukmir tells him everything via an earpiece as the shooting progresses.
Milo doesn't like how the movie is going with him having to beat a woman and have sex in front of a child, he decides to quit, Vukmir eplains that victims will ensure the movie to sell well and shows him a weird video (see negative point n°3), afraid, Milo drives away but at a stoplight he feels dizzy and is approached by Vukmir's nurse.
He wakes up, bloodied and with no memories of what happened during the past few days, he founds some tapes and sees that he was drugged and induced to violent behavior, memories come back as he slowly sees what he did.


My impressions :

+ The main plot is pretty interesting : "an ex porn star refuse to play in a movie, he wakes up drugged and has no memories of the past few days, what did he do?"
+ When i thought "Serbia" i thought it would be cheap and badly done but the way it is filmed, the dirty feeling coming out of it is good.
+ The penultimate scene shows the broken family of the main character killing themselves in each others arms, it is touching and sad but beautiful in a way.

- Rape scenes are too convincing
- Child sex
- The idea of "Newborn porn" with the video that goes with it
- Necrophilia
- Women beating scenes
- Too many dicks onscreen, it was said too be an horror movie, even if it deals with the porn industry it wasn't supposed to be a porn movie !
- The last scene shows someone shooting for the movie and telling one of his henchmen to rape Milo's family's corpses, and doing it on the child first. It's too much, the movie should have stopped at the scene where the family shoot itself, you're out of the house and just see the deflagration made by the gunshoot through the window, there is no blood and it would have ended the movie on a softer note.

I will not even rate this movie, it's impossible to rate something so strange.
To conclude, i wasn't disturbed by the movie but i understand that some people are. Don't get me wrong, i wasn't disturbed because to me it's just a movie but i don't agree with some ideas in this movie, if it was up to me i would have the director being checked by a psychiatrist only because of the newborn thing.
<big>If you are underaged or sensitive DON'T WATCH IT, the rape scenes are really REALLY convincing, it has insane ideas, it's twisted and the violent scenes could disturb too as they are rough and bloody.</big>
