BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SIGN…
A SERBIAN FILM has resulted in a lot of soul searching from online reviewers. While most people commenting on the more dangerous edges of cinema are quick to defend the rights of artists to express themselves within in a culture of free speech, some are still finding it hard to support the explicit content in the movie which is understandable. It’s obvious to most viewers that the film has a serious point but that doesn’t make it any easier to watch.
This moral trouble is what makes us human. Intelligent, thoughtful people can watch repellent images and difficult art and still draw positive conclusions from it and not everyone wants to be protected from the horrors of the world.
It’s a pity that the protagonist of A SERBIAN FILM didn’t apply the same thought process when he signs a contract to appear in a secret, underground porn project. He may not know what the terms and conditions are and he is certainly in the dark about his specific role in the production but hey, check out those numbers. He’d be a fool to turn down the chance to secure his families future for the sake of a little mystery… Right?
