Just read the plot on Wikipedia. I'm genuinely upset about this film.

We were working with a processing lab in Munich. We had explained to them the nature of the film and what we were trying to do. But when we went to pick up the print, the lab managers were waiting for us with police officers. They had problems with the content and they were afraid that what they were watching was real. We had similar problems at the Magyar Processing lab in Hungary. After the job was done we were questioned.....The most common question at festivals is whether we killed or raped anyone,” says Spasojevic. “I have to keep explaining that the scenes with children are not real. They’re done with puppets and dolls. It’s absurd really.”
Who would?

its well shot. but its shite. and horrible and so stupid its funny
Again, I think a lot of the historical and cultural context will fly over the heads of viewers; A Serbian Film certainly sent me packing to Wikipedia to fill in my gaps in recent history. Smarter, more tuned in viewers will pick some things up, but I do wonder what reactions Serbs have to the political subtext of the movie. Still, I think that Spasojevic has filled A Serbian Film with enough weight that even the most clueless viewer will understand that there are issues under discussion here.
This may be the biggest lie I've ever heard.
Have you heard anything any of the Government have come out with in the last while?
so, where do you fit in here?
above it altogether?
I'll probably never watch this because I am a bit of a wuss when it comes to this stuff but you know, I know plenty about what happened in the Balkans in the 1990's and I don't see how watching some movie about kids being raped is really going to extend my understanding of it very much.
sorry, it wasn't the directer who said that, that was one of the reviewers, I should have clarified.The director comes across as a complete dick. It might go over the heads of some Western viewers? You would want to be some kind of major fuckwit for the political subtext to go over your head as it's so completely and clunkingly obvious.
I believe his point is that the only way we can physically* experience how it felt to grow up there in the 80's and 90's is to give us something that makes us feel absolutely sickened to our stomach.
After the movie ended, an awkward silence filled the room. Screenwriter Srdjan Spasojevic fielded questions during a Q&A, framing the movie as an angry reaction to the country’s rampant censorship laws. “This is a diary of our own molestation by the Serbian government,” he said. “We’re giving this back to you.” He pointed out that the movie, which has yet to play in its native country, reflects a hidden anti-government sentiment. “In the past 10 to 15 years, the only films made in Serbia have no connection to Serbian reality,” he said.
