This keeps dropping in lines like ‘ahh, a Serbian family’ (over a scene of rape, incest, murder and exploitation of course) and briefly mentions that the villain is like someone you’d meet at the Hague, which – along with the title – suggests a specific national meaning to what is otherwise a remorseless, grim, well-made, horrifying (if guessable – is that a deliberate sense of impending tragedy or just an indictment of how limited our taboos are) picture. NB: these are notes, rather than a review – so expect a ton of spoilers.
My 2010 notes on Sprski Film (A Serbian Film), transferred from Facebook – along with a lengthy forum discussion.
