`A Serbian Film`

One of the most thought provoking and disturbing films you will probably see in recent times. Such has been the publicity that it has been banned in some countries and bans are being attempted in others. So what's it about?

A Serbian Film follows Milos, a retired adult film star in Serbia. He is persuaded back into the business for one final film that will secure him a pay cheque that will allow him to retire and support his family for the rest of his days. The drawback being the funder of this new film doesn't quite explain what the new film will entail. Lured by the big money Milos agrees to see how it goes but doesnt have any idea what he is getting himself in for.

You move through the filming scenes in the film with the camera following Milos just behind. He doesn't know what will happen next and neither do you, creating a suspense that will have you fearing the worst followed by the realisation that the worst is always yet to come!

Described by Garry Charles from Shock Horror Magazine as "Visually and constructively amazing, a tour de force of morbid beauty" this film will test your nerve and surprise and disgust you in a way that will capture your attention to the last. A must see.

To anyone still reading.... :P

Well its been a while hasn't it?

Finally I have came back to my blog. No particular reason but im sure I would have made clear in my initial post that my blogging would be sporadic? Haha, well maybe not. So what's happened in the past year and a bit? And yes, it has been that long!

The weekly commutes to Edinburgh have continued and after a break in the football season for Christmas and New Year the commute is due to return this coming Sunday. With the 6 Nations not that far away I'll try and enjoy the packed but not quite packed as they soon will be carriages. Which means of course I'm still living in Dundee where a mix of a temporary promotion for the past year and the state of the job market has meant moving wasn't an option. Still in the same flat, going to the same pubs and clubs and going to the same places for coffee - although a new place Harry or Henry's has opened. I can never remember which it is but I'm not sure it matters either way.

That brings us up to date. Kind of. Over the next few posts I will try and recap as much as I can about the past 12 months that is necessary or dare i say it interesting!
