Some people want to be able to watch a movie “for the first time” all over again. Others want to forget a rubbish one. If you could remove just one movie from your memory, which would it be?

    A Serbian film… That ending I just cant… It is the only movie I actively tell people to avoid. My wife and I like to watch the most mind-fuck movies imaginable, but that one took it a step too far. We literally just stared at the screen for like 5 min after it was over.

      Salo was for a long time the ultimate clout getter in conversations about fucked up films. A Serbian Film shit all over that upon its release. I actually think Salo is a bit interesting as a commentary on power and abuse, if not completely over the top, but ASF has little if any redeeming value. If it is trying to make any point it completely fails in making it because the content of the story is so awful It’s impossible to reflect on what that could even be.

      I agree. Saw a lot of fucked up films, but “A Serbian Film” I will never watch again. Similar feeling about “Irreversible” and this one endless scene…

      Yeah. First film I thought of when I read the title. My life would be better if I’d get to unwatch it.
