I think Hustles brought it up a while ago? (Could be mistaken)

Many folks on Be-Mag were left shocked and appalled.

Reading about women's heads being cut off during sex, children being raped out of the womb, wives and sons being raped and killed under the influence of drugs, and friends being suffocated by dicks was bad. But that picture just turned me off of sex forever.

i don't even care about the graphic material, i'm more offended that they recycled the "one last big job where everything goes wrong" plot

and as i was reading the plot i started to wonder if the story had any allusions to recent serbian history

the reception section is really interesting actually and discusses this:

"This is a diary of our own molestation by the Serbian government... It's about the monolithic power of leaders who hypnotize you to do things you don't want to do. You have to feel the violence to know what it's about"----- quote from the director

"Movies can use transgressive topics and imagery toward great artistic resonance. They can also just use them for pure shock/novelty/boundary-pushing, which is where I'd group Serbian Film. That it comes from a country that's spent decades deep in violent conflict, civil unrest, corruption and ethnic tensions makes it tempting to read more into the film than I think it actually offers—ultimately, it has as much to say about its country of origin as Hostel does about America, which is a little, but nothing on the scale its title suggests." [23]

"if it is somehow an allegory of Serbian family and Serbian politics then the allegory gets lost amidst the increasingly stupid splatter".[
