Dr Nele Karajlić - Fajront u Sarajevu

Čito FAJRONT U SARAJEVU. Odlična knjiga, doista vrh, a posebno za nas fanatične fanove Pušenja, Elvisa, TLN i novog primitivizma uopšte, koji smo doduše i ranije znali dosta tih detalja ali samo u naznakama, preko rekla-kazala varijanti. E, zato je ovde sve to do detalja pojašnjeno, alal mu vera. Jedino sam bio prinuđen da preskočim one delove gde Nele ko fol razgovara sa Sudbinom i nekakvim anđelima? To me baš smaralo jer ne volim tu fikciju al' nikako, al' kontam jbga zašto je to morao turiti u knjigu, gistro kao povod da ispriča tu svoju polu-autobiografsku priču te je kao opravdano, mada moglo je to i na drugi način da se uradi jer ti delovi baš ubivaju, al' se na drugu stranu zbog toga barem lepo videlo da je Nele lično pisao tu knjigu a ne ko što to rade druge poznate ličnosti na čelu s onim novinarkama i glumcima. To mi zapravo bilo i najdraže, kad sam izvalio po onom njegovom prepoznatljivom filozofiranju i suludim metaforama da je upravo on solo autor ovog dela a bez da mu je iko pomagao. Al' najjače mi bilo kad sam konačno saznao kako su Pušenje i Top Lista dobili imena, znači skroz liči na njih, ahahaha, nije me nimalo začudilo, spontanizam i renesansa bogihubio. Dakle, jedna izuzetna priča o Sarajevu 80-ih, svima je preporučujem jer ne znam dal je iko napisao išta slično ovome, i jedini bedak što knjiga nije na latinici da i ova omladina iz Sarajeva koja nije zadojena mržnjom prema Neletu može da je pročita. Mislim greota da ti novi klinci ne saznaju o tom po meni najlepšem periodu u istoriji Sarajeva samo zato jer im Emir Hadžihafizbegović, inače meni omiljeni bosanski glumac (pokido ulogu oca u "Arminu", svaka mu čast) reko da je Nele "mali smrad", zar ne?

A study in a subculture of "alternative" american teenagers and young adults

Standing outside of one of South Carolina's most notorious underground music spot, The New Brookland Tavern, with weather in the mid-nineties waiting in a line for three bands you've never listened to before. A challenge accepted. Standing in the alley that sat between the tavern and their next door neighbors taking in the graffiti, that hundreds of people in the same place, at different times, had scrawled all over the walls. The judging eyes of angst-y youth glaring at me. As the place started to open up they allowed people who pre-paid tickets into the building (this included me and my friend) and the cool of the air of AC units hit me. The calm before the storm. We hunkered into the stage area and found a nice spot directly in front of the stage. The music being played out of the stereos consisted of similar pop-punk and emo melodies that began to vibrate throughout my whole body, the lights dimmed. The first band, "Dads", was about to take stage. As my eyes began to adjust to the low light and my body to the crammed heat of an overstuffed building my visioned worsened. I assumed it was just my eyes making up for the darkness. Things were going black. I ignored it again, but then it hit my hearing. Sound become muffled and I knew I needed to get out despite my death wish of being crushed by angry hyped fans. I dig my way out of the crowd and into a freshly cleaned bathroom. "Dads" starts playing.

- Dads -

After "Dads" played and left (immediately) and I recovered from almost passing out before the concert even began, I decided that maybe I'd leave the sanctuary of the small bathroom and see "Tigers Jaw" were now coming up on stage. Now the tavern is packed to the max waiting for these guys to play. I am hiding in the less crowded area of bar area. There was absolutely no point in even trying to hear the lead singer, Adam McIlwee, namely because the entire left half of the building was singing the lyrics to the song over the vocal and the stereos. Needing a breath and a break from the emotionally charged screaming vocals I go to the smoking area outside the main foundation. At last, I've found my people. The ones who don't know why they are at the concert or overpowered by the music. I was a bit of both. Out there I found more people I know. The entire youth alt community of the midlands seems to have come together to watch these guys. Meanwhile in the same bathroom where I almost passed out, the friend I came with was running while puking up her Spaghettios in her hands continuously tripping and knocking over people on her way to the toilet.

- Tigers Jaw -

The last set shown at the concert was "Touché Amoré", the headliner out of all the bands. After having seen "Tigers Jaw" I knew Touché would come on and the crowd would truly go crazy. I had to see this. By now the air in the building is saturated with human sweat and heat. I find, yet again, more people I know. The amount of people in the building is packed. I'm ready this time. I am feeling good. I go into the crowd and stick on the outside of where I know the mosh pit will form (they are not allowed). The band comes up and the lead singer is spraying the audience with water bottles. I can feel the energy that's about to explode in the crowd. The first note of the song is played and the back of the room surges forward. Another friend is freaking out because she got stuck in the pit and I help her find the back of the "room". While the pit tears each other apart the people on the outside are pushing it forward increasing the excitement and tension, people are jumping onto the relatively small stage and successfully crowd surfing despite one girl ending up in some strange painful looking handstand. A shoe goes missing. My leg was bleeding and so was the persons whose blood was on me. All in all, a great show.

- Touché Amoré -

The real scene was the people after the shows. Namely all the smokers after the fans thinned out and left so that their mothers could have their sweat soaked clothes washed and cleaned. Everyone is tired and beat, sore. There are still people trying to chase around band members but the music had stopped and everyone could take a breath (of smoke) outside. The main show outside was the hula hoop. A toy from my childhood but made look amazing with the skillful hips of Christina Godwin, a fire/sword eater. Oh and yes, she can spin a fire hoop.

- Fire Hoop -

By the time the entire Tavern was empty the sweet hum of cicadas filled the thick night air and I waited another hour for my ride to get there on the empty streets of West Columbia, SC.

- "Fuck your mother" -

"The lucid dream, located as it is at a crossroads between worlds and states of consciousness, places the magician in an unique position to influence the delicate balance of consciousness and the interplay it has on matter in the waking state, and is thus an opportunity to test one’s ability in the art of adjusting the mutable fabric of Maya." - Zeena Schreck

My name is Olivia Hartman and I will be writing on Abraxas 365 Dokumentarci for a period of time writing exclusively in English. I'm a local of South Carolina, USA, which resides in the South Eastern chunk of the country. I am also a Buddhist, occult researcher, and persistent lucid dreamer. The Buddhist practices I follow link directly to my lucid dreams in a way that it haunts and enlightens me every day. The occult furthers my educational boundaries and pushes what I think I know out of my comfort zones and limits. I will not be writing only on lucid dreaming but also on topics related to the occult (and other organizations) providing pictures and sources for the topics discussed.

Gravity (2013)

Director:
Alfonso Cuarón

IMDB

Na nagovor nekih jarana čije mišljenje cenim odvažio sam se da konačno pogledam tu toliko nahvaljenu Gravitaciju 3D u bioskopu. Bio, gledo, vratio se, i malo je reći da sam duboko ali baš duboko razočaran pogledanim, mada da ne grešim dušu, to može biti i iz razloga što sam zaista i previše očekivao od ovog ostvarenja jer su me jarani opasno potpalili (i nahuškali vala) na ZS forumu izjavama tipa "moj stav je svakako da je riječ o jednoj vrsti odgovora na Kubrikov 2001: SPACE ODYSSEY", zatim "odlican Gravity. Odiseja u rikverc", pa "e zbog ovog su izmislili 3D", i na kraju "pošto se ipak radi o najboljem filmu koji sam video u ovoj godini, zaslužuje da ovde dobije barem nekoliko crtica u svrhu preporuke kultistima, jer OVO NE SMETI SEBI DOPUSTITI DA NE POGLEDATE U BIOSKOPU!". I tako se ja vazda naivan upeco na ovu priču, a verujte mi da sam daleko više uživao gledajući Children of Men od istog autora, nego ovaj "akcioni film čija se radnja odvija u svemiru", da ga tako krstim za početak, i doista me živo zanima zašto se ovaj film vodi pod Sci-Fi kad ovde fikciju možemo naći samo u scenariju i nigde više, i sve te akcije u filmu, ti sateliti, svemirske stanice, moduli il' kako se već zovu te letelice, sve to se već poodavno nalaze u Zemljinoj orbiti, znači tu nema ničeg novog a što bi se moglo podvesti pod naučnu-fantastiku. E sad, možda sam ja pogrešno skontao šta znači to Sci-Fi, ali eto odličnog primera pomenute Kjubrikove Odiseje. E, to ti je brate moj naučna-fantastika, jer taj film je za razliku od Gravitacije snimljen mnogo pre nego što se pojma imalo šta ljudsku rasu sve čeka u svemiru, kakva će biti prevozna sredstva i šta sve ne, a da ne pričamo o po meni glavnoj odlici SF-a, znači da tu brate postoji nekakva, pa bilo kakva misterija, bar eto nagoveštaj da postoji nešto BEYOND kako je to genijalno odrađeno u Odiseji, koja je iako snimljena davne 1968. meni i dalje najjači SF film svih vremena, i to ubedljivo.

I OK, ako ćemo Gravity da poredimo sa Odisejom tu mogu u neku ruku i da se složim da je ovo jedna vrsti odgovora na Kjubrikov masterpis ali samo u smislu te realističnosti i ničega drugog, dakle zakoni fizike, bezvazdušni prostor and shit, to je odrađeno zaista ultra vrhunski, ali brate to je samo tehnička strana filma, đe ba zapela radnja, gde se denuo taj SF zbog kog sam balavih ustiju po'itao u bioskop? Nema ga al' ni u najavi, znači ili je to ili sam ja skroz naskroz pogrešno skontao šta sve potpada pod taj SF žanr, te vas evo najljubaznije molim da mi neko to pojasni da ne umrem u neznanju jebotebogdatejebo!

Što se tiče 3D akcije, tu mora da priznam da ovaj film vredi isključivo pogledan u bioskopu jer tu kao dobijete taj osećaj gistro treće dimenzije pa je kao i zanimljiv pomalo, bogme "leti" tu svašta okolo-naokolo, fino to vizuelno izgleda, ima baš odličnih scena, i kontam da bi se tek žešće smorio da sam ga pogledao u DVDrip il' kojem već 2D formatu. Što se tiče glume i surovo patetičnih dijaloga, to ne bih komentarisao jer me ne zanimaju ti momenti iz akcionih filmova sa primesama drame u navodno čistokrvnom SF-u, i jedino što stvarno zaslužuje pohvalu je montaža i tako taj tehnički deo, i naravno mnogo jaka režija genijalnog Alfonso Cuaróna, mada mi se čak i njegova skroz nepretenciozna drama Y Tu Mamá También iz 2001. verovali ili ne opet više svidela od Gravitacije. I za kraj, ako je Gravity zaista najbolji film koji je citirani kolega pogledao u ovoj godini, a verujte mi video ih je bar 3 puta više od mene, onda kakvi su bre ostali, pobogu ljudi?!

Review: Carl Panzram: The Spirit of Hatred and Revenge (2011)

Director:
John Borowski

Runtime: 80 min

Carl Panzram. Samo ime ovog čoveka izaziva jezu i strahopoštovanje, ali to je samo spoljašnost ove zaista kompleksne ličnosti, jer ispod se krije mnogo, mnogo dublja priča, teška ko crna zemlja. Jedini filozof među serijskim ubicama, jedini koji je to skroz iskreno i veoma pismeno dokumentovao u svojoj autobiografiji. Njegovi čuveni citati su čak svojevremeno stigli i u Srbiju, gde na početku Šijanovog filma "Davitelj protiv davitelja" iz 1984-e, ide ono legendarno "Voleo bih da celo čovečanstvo ima jedan vrat sa mojim rukama oko njega."

Dugo smo čekali na ovaj dokumentarac, neki od nas i preko 3 godine, ali vredelo je, jer do sad smo o Panzramu pogledali samo solidan igrani film Killer: A Journal of Murder (1996), gde ga je maestralno odigrao James Woods i to je to. Dokumentarac, pa makar i onaj televizijski nikad nije snimljen.

Dakle, radi se bukvalno o premijeri, i izuzetno mi je drago da se tog posla prihvatio najfanatičniji, a samim tim i najbolji true-crime reditelj John Borowski, koga ponajviše znamo po masterpis dokumentarcu o Albertu Fishu. E, ako ste gledali Alberta Fisha, ovo vam je jedno 7 puta jače, što zbog same priče, što zbog predrkane produkcije i ljudi koji govore u filmu, pa tako npr. John DiMaggio se našao u ulozi Panzrama u re-enactment scenama, a tu su i standardne legende, moj omiljeni Joe Coleman i Katherine Ramsland, koju znamo po odličnim tekstovima na CRIME LIBRARY sajtu.

Nije bilo nimalo lako snimiti jedan ovakav film, jer smrtna kazna vešanjem nad Panzramom je izvršena još davne 1930. godine, tako da nema živih svedoka, osim ako u to ne ubrajamo arhivske snimke tada već matorog zatvorskog stražara Henry Lessera, bez čijeg zalaganja priča o Panzramu nikad ne bi videla svetlost dana. I baš zato moram da pohvalim izuzetno odrađen re-enactment deo ovog filma, jer ovakvim fazonom je ta priča dignuta na skroz viši nivo, od onih početaka Errola Morrisa u The Thin Blue Line pa sve do danas, jedino Borowski je uspeo da nas ne smori tim scenama. Dalje, izbor glumca koji igra Panzrama je više nego dobar, jer ipak je to bio čovek bre, ljudina, a ne tamo neki ispijeni James Woods, koga inače zaista gotivim kao glumca.

Priča u filmu je biografskog karaktera, pa tako pratimo Panzrama od njegove rane mladosti pa sve do smrti, što je vaistinu podvig, jer trebalo je sve to istražiti, da bude tačno, a nikako površno, pa nije ni čudo što smo na film čekali i jače od 3 godine. Takođe jako zanimljiv deo je preispitivanje autora dal' je Panzram stvarno govorio istinu kada je tvrdio da je ubio 21-u osobu, jer dokaza za to nema, sva ubistva su se desila navodno po Afrikama i tako tim zabitima, gde je to tada bilo ko dobar dan, pa se nije ni beležilo, nit' se vodila bilo kakva istraga. Jedino dokazano ubistvo je ono poslednje, u zatvoru, koje je počinio sa namerom da dobije smrtnu kaznu, što mu se ubrzo i ostvarilo.

Film je urađen u jako mračnom tonu, pa je takva i muzika koju ispunjava vaistinu zlokoban glas John DiMaggio-a. U filmu su nam prezentovana i originalna Panzramova pisma, koje je on doturao stražaru, od kojih je mnogo kasnije nastala autobiografska knjiga. O tome u video snimku iz ’79 govori i sam stražar Henry Lesser. Tu su i svedočenja o tome na koje sve načine je, kakvim sve mučenjima, zatvorska služba pokušavala da slomi Panzrama, što joj naravno nije uspelo, te bi tu samo pomenuo i sudbinu Vlade Dapčevića, koji je isto tako bio jedan od retko nesalomivih ljudi, skroz utvrđen u svojim stavovima ma kakvi oni bili.

Panzram je takođe neretko sam za sebe govorio da je psihopata i da ne oseća ni trunku griže savesti za počinjena dela, ali opet na drugu stranu iz njegovih tekstova provejava ta jako dobra racionalizacija svojih postupaka, gde mi susrećemo natprosečno inteligentnog čoveka sa izuzetnim talentom za pisanje. Uostalom, meni su ti njegovi citati ko Biblija, i to prosečan low-life serijski ubica nikad ne bi mogao da osmisli, tako da Panzram tu, barem za mene, nadilazi pojam klasičnog serijskog ubice, i postaje neka vrsta Ničeovog nadčoveka koji je pogazio sve ljudske i božanske zakone, i to ne slučajno nego sa očiglednom namerom i predumišljajem, kao da je imao poruku koju je po svaku cenu želeo da prenese svetu koji je toliko mrzeo i kojem je želeo da se osveti za života.

S obzirom da sam pogledao 99% dokumentaraca na temu serijskih ubica, mogu slobodno da tvrdim da je ovaj ubedljivo najbolji, jer većina ostalih su opskurni TV radovi, i ne samo to, ovo je i jedan od jačih biografskih dokumentaraca, pa ga možemo posmatrati i sa te strane. I iskreno mi je žao što u SAD nema više nezavisnih autora poput Borowkog, koji bi pokrili npr. i priče o Ed Geinu, B.T.K-u, Dennisu Nilsenu, pa možda i o najzanimljivijoj ličnosti, Jeffrey Dahmeru, jer niti jedan od navedenih likova nema pravi full-length dokumentarac, a svakako su ga zaslužili jer su priče same po sebi neverovatne.

Dakle, mojne se štekate no naručite ovaj DVD i tako podržite nezavisne autore poput Borowskog, a da ne pominjem kakvih sve divotarija ima u SPECIAL FEATURES, poput Deleted Scenes, zatim celokupnog 45-minutnog intervjua sa stražarom Henry Lesserom, i Colemanovog portreta, ali u FULL rezoluciji, sa svim i najsitnijim detaljima, koje do sad nismo imali prilike da vidimo. Znači, imate moju definitivnu preporuka za ovaj dokumentarac godine!

Vaistinu, pogolema mi je čast naći se uz ova imena, jedina zamerka što autor nije turio i el grande Acu Radivojevića, jer ipak je on zamajac cele priče, al' kontam da je valjda računo samo ove reditelje, pa kao tu je Spasojević u ime Ace, mada to baš i ne ide tako, al' ajd' sad, i ja kenjam kad serem, ljudi (životinje) smo. Naravno, da se ja pitam, ja bi ovde turio i prekodrinskog brata Harvija (Aleksandar Janjić), zatim SIMERIJANCA, Lošmija (Miloš Cvetković), i još neke ljude koji se aktivno bave filmom, al' se jebiga ne pitam. I ono što me iskreno najviše obradovalo, je što su prozvani i Paskaljević i Marković, zatim ona smradina Dragojević, i naravno ovi koji nisu ni za imenovanje a radili su ove malo duže klipove za jutjub poput "Šišanja". E, za to (Jovo) KAPA DOLE!!!

Inače, radi se o "besplatnom listu za kulturu AVANGRAD", broj 12 - januar/februar 2012, pa ako nekom treba nek se javi, imam ga u PDF-u.

Pozrite si recenziu knihy Abraxasov vodič niz dokumentarni film v mládežníckom časopise vojvodinských slovákov VZLET. Recenzia vyšla v novembrovom čísle, na strane 17 časpisu. Autor textu je Janko Takáč.

Kurčenje vol.1: Abraxas does Yellow Cab

Dakle sve je jasno, sranje nije slasno, we're going mainstream baby, oh yeah...

Dakle, šta se desilo, kritika "Vodiča" je trebala da uleti u junskom broju ali je onda uletela ona raspala PINK urveštijazakunje, Bačić mi ga Alimpić, sa nekim svojim pulp sranjima, al' šta ćeš, istripovala žena da je pisac i tu nema boga, kakva Isidora Bjelica, kakva Mirjana Bobić, ova im bre beži za čitav krug, mada ako ćemo iskreno, ni ja nisam ništa bolji, al' ja bar ne ulazim na kvarno preko reda, tako da sam u miru i dostojanstveno sačekao julsko izdanje, sve se nadajući da Vidojković, Šelić ili tako neki dojajni pisci neće izdati nove knjige u međuvremenu. I vaistinu, kren'o ja jutros sa prvim zracima kurca odma' da overim dal' su me turili, i falaqrcu turiše me, tako da koristim ovu priliku da se zahvalim glavnoj i odgovornoj urednici Mini Krsmanović koja je uz brata Lošmija to pogurala uprkos svim kontraverzama. Znači, thanks.

Inače, ja zaista nikad nisam čitao ovaj časopis (a bogme ni bilo koji drugi, da se ne lažemo) a kontam ni velika većina vas koji ovo čitate (ili možda grešim ?) te vam stoga vaspostavljam na uvid ovu kritiku, jer realno koja će budala (osim mene opravdano) da kupi časopis zbog jedne jedine kritike ?

E da, još jedna zanimljiva pojedinost, svih osam kritika imaju naslovnice u zaglavlju osim naravno moje, što samo potvrđuje moju teoriju da smo kolega Ognjanović i ja sa tim Kolmanovim portretom Čarlija Mansona odradili opaku akciju, jer očigledno je da deluje, čim ljudi to ne znaju da prihvate na pravi način tj. pre će biti da nisu sigurni o čemu se tu zapravo radi, pa ide onaj fazon, daj bolje da mi to cenzurišemo, da nas glava ne boli, jer ko zna šta sve tu piše. I bejahu u pravu, jer zaista svašta piše, al' se nažalost ne vidi jer je skoro pa džepno izdanje, tako da ono...evo kritike pa mu ga dajte !

P.S. Kurčićemo se do kraja !

A Serbian Film (2009) - review by Harry Knowles

Official Site

IMDB

Harry says SERBIAN FILM will be the best film you won't likely see in Theaters this year!

Srpski Film aka SERBIAN FILM is already on its way to becoming a notorious film. This is something that a little bit of excess here or there graphically can provide with little to no skill. I can’t even begin to tell you how many schlocky graphically intense films I’ve been shown in my life that all “Had To Be Seen To Be Believed”.

There are very few that I can then recommend to you, my audience here at AICN.

SERBIAN FILM is a brilliant movie. The very best film that I saw at SXSW 2010. I say that not with a tongue in my cheek, some wicked friendly relationship with the filmmakers… none of that. SERBIAN FILM is so much more than the very little “over the top” imagery that it contains.

Imagine a film written by Paul Schrader at the height of his seventies super powers directed with the handsome presentation of a David Fincher. Now imagine that their subject matter is the very scary world of avant garde illegal former Soviet block Porn production. If you remember a film I recommended way back in 2002, DEMONLOVER, a film featuring Chloe Sevigny, Gina Gershon and some other cool folks – in a way, SERBIAN FILM is the dream film dealing with rough subject matters.

This is an incredibly handsome film, very very Western in its story-telling. Like all films dealing with the “Rabbit Hole” plotline, the movie begins by showing us just what a wonderful family man, Milos the famous porn god is. Milos is retired from porn. Has a stunning wife, a cute kid. But an old co-worker of his, someone he helped make famous with his famous cock. She wants him to get back into the game with the latest holy shit offer of untold fabulous amounts of money TO DO PORN.

Now the main thing about this Milos guy is this. He’s very charismatic. This actor is fantastic…. As perfect for this character as DeNiro was in TAXI DRIVER. He’s just the right guy. You absolutely believe him, his family, his brother who fantasizes about his wife… the whole thing, it just seems right. He doesn’t live in a palace, it is a very middle class looking life style. Apparently the money he’s being offered for this return to the game… could bump him up to the next lifestyle bubble.

The other MAIN character is the mad genius porn director that nobody has any record of… who apparently was a leading Child Psychologist. This actor, who again, I just do not know… He’s perfect. He’s that right layer of slime for the role. He has about as much “Eww” as you’d expect from an Eastern European Porn Director with a Vision. But the actor is perfect. Perfect because… Yeah, run. Seriously, run. If a man that used to be a great Child Psychologist offers you unbelievably fabulous money to star in a porn fucking “to be revealed later” in “situation to be disclosed later” – RUN. Seriously, just fucking run. The actor just sells it. Just don’t accept the offer.

But it is a lot of money. Life changingly ludicrous gobs of money.

For what? 4 days of fucking tops? Sure, why not?

Now for the difficult part. How to describe the rabbit hole that our “hero” plummets through?

I’ve been struggling with this for weeks. I dearly love this movie specifically because I didn’t know the twists and the turns. I love the film because I was expecting something that would probably come across cheap, instead it looks as handsome as the most prestigious film from a major studio.

The first day of shooting is just a little fucked up. Nothing so much as to make you run screaming for your life… but if you know anything about foreshadow, than anyone with the critical mind could imagine where this “artisitic genius of a porn auteur” might be headed. You’d be wrong, but still. It is weird enough that you could lose an erection, or become rock harder, depending on your own degree of wrongitude.

Now at this film’s most intense, it is not… to me… more traumatic than NEKROMANTIK 2, but it is as dark a film as they come. Lovecraft would be proud of this descent into madness ending. However, the ending is exactly the ending it needs to be.

I would fully expect this film to be shortened by a minute or two for domestic distribution. I completely get this situation because in its current state, there are a handful of theaters in the United States that would have the chutzpah to show the film that was shown at Midnight at the Alamo Drafthouse South in Austin. That’s not a false praise, it is a reality.

This is a film that when the prints were made… twice, the film developer burned those prints because they didn’t understand what they were looking at. This is a film that without breaking any major rules… seems to, but again if you take a very reasoned look at what you are seeing at any given moment, you realize what you are not seeing onscreen at the same time.

That said – there is some very realistic simulation of things that in various states, could be deemed illegal – thus, the film will require a few snips. This sucks, but this is the way it is… until there are more theater owners with backbone and integrity to show the best of cinema, no matter its subject matter… until there are distributors that wish to return us to challenging and difficult subject matters told brilliantly… well, until they pick up a film like this. A film that frankly is very very accomplished. A distributor that understands the value of getting it shut down in a few intolerant communities – in order to sell the film in the liberal godless markets in this widely diverse country of ours. This is a film to wake the ire of the right, and bring down the awesome of those that support the arts.

SERBIAN FILM demands to be seen by folks like you that read this site, this is a film that deserves that same kind of demand it support that got PARANORMAL ACTIVITY going… but even that miracle release needed a studio to have the balls to release it and get behind it when the word called for it.

I really do hope you good folks get to see this movie. It is tremendous. One of the best “EXTREME” films to come along in the history of this site. Think of films like OLDBOY, SYMPATHY FOR MR VENGEANCE, IRREVERSIBLE, etc. You know the titles. They’re the films that if you have it, you’ve shown to others – introducing the titles because no studio really did.

I pray that SERBIAN FILM has that kind of future at the very least. We should all be so lucky to see it.
