Viewing Notes
Now it was already past midnight at the event but a fairly decent sized crowd was still around (most of those Slices of Life supporters split as soon as the film was over). Those sticking around were there for the most notorious film of the year, A Serbian Film (2009), the final film of Day One at HSFF. Unfortunately one of the projectors fried so they had to call in a technician to repair. This pushed back the start time by almost 2 hours! Fuck all.
We stuck around as we’ve been looking forward to this moment since SxSW. Sadly many people did leave and missed out on seeing this absurdly brutal film play out on the big screen. As a film I was amazed at how well shot and how good it looks. Srdjan Todorovic is excellent in the lead (and all the women are so incredibly attractive). For the violence it is definitely hardcore but somehow didn’t resonate with me as I expected it to (possibly because it was so late and we were so tired), which is probably a good thing because this isn’t an easy film to watch unfold. I could see viewing it again sometime in the distant future.
Also I think this print was only the second time it was viewed in the United States having been freshly struck and shipped over exclusively for this event and one prior event in Philadelphia. The print was immaculate.
