Cult sensation A Serbian Film has broken a distributor here in Cannes. While I'm still looking for specific details, I'm told that at this morning's screening in the Cannes market, one distributor was so disturbed by what they saw on screen that they tried to leave, becoming faint and disoriented on the way out before collapsing at the exit and falling face first into the door, breaking their nose and leaving a puddle of blood on the floor. We've joked before that this film can break people's brains. Now it has broken someone's face, too.

That is awesome.
I so want to see this film, but at the same time I don't think I could handle it. I'm becoming soft in my old age. Realistic stuff like that freaks me the fuck out.
Awesome...hope we get to find out which distributor that person worked for.
SOLD! :)
Well, I don't mind aggressively styled movies, as long as they are interesting. There are those movies, and I suspect this will be one of them, that simply aim to break boundaries and at most put a heavy message on it.
In this very case, I can't imagine who would want to see a scene where a baby is raped to death. Yes, that happens in the movie. Probably the director will say something pseudo-intellectual that it's a parable about de-humanisation, or something like that.
For me this is lazy film making, where grossing out is more the aim than to tell a good story.
This sounds like a job for Celluloid Nightmares!
The movie has guts? Good, but more importantly, does it has brains?
I need to see this before judgement, i can't handle any gore or sick stuff but i still watch them because i like to see filmakers push the boundaries of whats acceptable.
But anyone can come up with silly and sick ideas like tom six's Human Centipede (its weird being bored and freaked out at the same time!)
You need to have a story and plot for people to take notice if your serious about pushing cinema forward.
Last house on the left, Texas chainsaw, Evil dead, Exorcist, movies that at the time were said to be sick and wrong but now are classics.
In this day and age its got to be good like Pascal Laugiers 'marytrs' for people to care, in all honesty we've seen it all before just look at japanese cinema in the mid nineties or the early eighties italian stuff.
How to create buzz for gore films #1
@Todd please screen this at FF, I missed out at SXSW... I need to watch this with a midnight audience...
I was unable to see it as SXSW so I too hope that this film will have another US screening.
My first thought was that the guy could have been badly affected by alcohol or been just plain ill anyway (that still may be the case); then again having now looked at some of the reviews on the web (Bloody-Disgusting.com has a full review) from some that did see this at SXSW, perhaps this film can have that effect. Torture porn (the full meaning of both words) that features scenes with children isn't just boundary pushing; it crosses boundaries that shouldn't be crossed. I do think there are some things that shouldn't be filmed, shown or watched. I really now don't want to see this film; I don't want it to be a success in any way for fear of what 'me-too' imitators it'll bring in its wake. I doubt this film will get a certificate or release in many countries; given what I've read I'm not unhappy about that.
