Similarly, after 5 years, it can hardly be considered a spoiler to discuss that A Serbian Film contains baby fucking. Movies of a certain age and impact may be discussed in their entirety for example: After a number of years, it was finally acceptable to openly talk about the fact that the woman in A Crying Game is actually a man, and that Bruce Willis is a ghost in The Sixth Sense, allowing these shocking twists to enter popular discourse. It should come as no surprise, then, that writer/director Srđan Spasojević is regarded as one of horror’s most controversial living filmmakers.
Since its release in 2010, this movie has widely been considered one of the most shockingly subversive ever produced, and has been banned in Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Norway, and temporarily banned from screening in Brazil.
What I consider the highlight of the 9 th Annual Sacramento Horror Film Festival could very easily be someone else’s low point: On Friday October 9 th, A Serbian Film screened uncut and in high definition for the very first time in America.
