He's written to his Commonwealth and Victorian counterparts. JASON OM: A Serbian Film is banned in a number of countries, and John Rau thinks Australia should be included. However, I don't think any right thinking person accepts that that principle is completely without boundaries. JOHN RAU: I think we have to accept as a civilised society that adults should be given a fair degree of latitude to do, say and read and observe whatever they wish. JASON OM: Some people might say that adults have the right to view whatever they like is that the case in this instance? JOHN RAU: I've seen the version which was given a restricted classification by the national body. JOHN RAU: In the version that I have seen that is implied. An uncut version is said to contain scenes involving the rape of a baby. The film was refused classification a number of times before being edited to fit the R-rating. It's not for the faint-hearted and some of the descriptions on the internet are too graphic for this program. JASON OM: The film is set in Serbia and follows an ageing porn star who comes out of retirement and unwittingly ends up working on a snuff film. JOHN RAU: Well revolted as any decent thinking person would be. JASON OM: But it's not just the ending that's disgusted the South Australian Attorney-General John Rau who watched the film. JASON OM: The movie's tagline is Not All Films Have a Happy Ending. South Australia's Attorney-General is pushing for a wider ban. It's been banned in some places overseas because it contains themes of child rape and necrophilia.Ī Serbian Film was due to be released on DVD and screens tomorrow night at the opening of the Melbourne Underground Film Festival.

There's no doubt that the movie called A Serbian Film is extremely controversial. MARK COLVIN: The South Australian Government has moved to ban a film that's been passed by the federal censors.
