A Serbian Film (2010)

A story about family, sobriety, redemption, and porn.

Okay, it's actually a lot more f*cked up than that.

***LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED***

Listen in as me and my guest, Devon, talk through what he called "the most horrific thing [he's] seen."

Directed by Srdjan Spasojevic (The ABCs of Death) and written by Spasojevic and Aleksandar Radivojevic (short films and Serbian projects), this film has been heralded by many as one of, if not the, most disturbing and messed up films ever made.

It follows the once great porn star Milos who has since retired to spend time with his family and Jack Daniels. He is approached by an "art house" porn director named Vukmir to do one last film for an absurd amount of money. He takes the job only to find that the film will be made live with him learning the story as he goes. When he finds he has been drugged and wakes up bloody, days later, and his family is missing, Milos tries to retrace his steps by following a demented breadcrumb trail of video tapes. What he finds will change his life, and possibly yours, forever.

Definitely not for the faint of heart, this maligned work from 2010 still has the power to elicit shudders and strong opinions from those who have seen it -- whether they liked it or hated it.

**Again, proceed with caution with this episode as we discuss difficult subject matter that occurs in the film.**

For the brave and the curious the film is available on Blu-ray and DVD.
