CGiii Comment
The first artist of Snuff...
Low-budget extreme cinema...what it lacks in finesse is compensated by the grotesque.
This (very angry) director obviously had a mountain to get off his chest...his comments on war are extraordinarily moving...his comments on humanity and greed surely, in most, will create a great sadness as to the voluntary depths a person is prepared to sink for money. It is, indeed, a grimy indictment.
By no stretch of the imagination is it a good film - it is liberally littered with amateur-shot junk.
With extreme editing (i.e. a hatchet job) - a respectable film could have been wrought from the wreckage.
Inappropriateness is usually linked with immaturity - the film's ultimate downfall.
This auteur may grow up and deliver a decent, mature film...the evidence is here.

The(ir) Blurb...
Young director Marko, after several unsuccessful attempts to shoot his first feature film, makes an acquaintance with a porn director Cane and starts making films with him, showing his anger towards the society he lives in. After the conflict with Cane he starts his own porn cabaret club in which the socio-political shows are frequently performed. He gathers porn stars around himself. Gay couple Johnny and Max, a transvestite Ceca, junkies Rade and Darinka and others. However, Cane's brother who is a policeman interrupts a premiere, the press destroys them as well, and Marko decides he should leave Belgrade and have a tour around Serbia with his crew. Shortly after, series of conflicts happen with the viewers from the villages they visited. On the way, they meet a German journalist Franc, who is fascinated with Balkan.
