It's suggested, for the most part, and I think suggestion in many ways is more effective than outright showing the horror because your mind fills in the blanks. From what I understand the most offensive scene (and the scene that has everyone up in arms) is done off camera. And the idea that the public prosecutor in Barcelona wants to charge the Sitges Film Festival, a world-renowned film festival of horror, science fiction, and fantasy films, and its director, Angel Sala, with exhibition of child pornography is offensive and angers me to the core. But I can't watch it.Īt the same time, the idea that the makers of the film are somehow morally corrupt people is absolutely ridiculous. I don't doubt that A SERBIAN FILM is important. But I have a personal threshold when it comes to this stuff, and so I take myself out of the argument. Drew McWeeny of and others have seen it and felt that it was an important film and worth discussing, and I agree with them. I don't dispute my peers' claims that A SERBIAN FILM is a film worthy of respect. You don't judge the audience, or the artist, even you judge the art, and the art alone. I also don't judge the people who've seen A SERBIAN FILM. I understand what context and theme mean. I don't have a problem with children in danger in film.

I don't normally have a problem with gore (ordinarily it takes me right out of the movie because I know it's not real).

I've seen some pretty heinous stuff on film, and stuff that's pushed my buttons. I'm a parent, and I know my limitations (which are quite high) when it comes to film. My peers have told me about the film, the subject matter, and how the film doesn't pull punches, and I've decided it isn't for me. I haven't seen A SERBIAN FILM, and honestly, I probably never will.
