Do Elephants Pray - Raindance Film Festival

A SERBIAN FILM [SRPSKI FILM]
FRIDAY 8 OCTOBER AT 10:45PM PRIVATE SCREENING
Milos is a retired porn star who now dedicates himself to his
loving wife and young child. He is not happy however, and
dreams of a better life for his family. He tries to work but,
because of his past, he only gets offered roles in cheap and dull
porn movies. Unexpectedly, one of his ex co-stars informs him
that a new director is looking to cast him in an innovative project.
A big pay-cheque is promised, but on the condition that Milos
know nothing about the film. Hesitant at first, Milos signs the
contract: it will be the beginning of a nightmare journey which
leads him into sordid sex, violence, and deaths.
Directed by Srdjan Spasojevic, A Serbian film has sparked
huge controversies over some of its extremely violent scenes and
shocking images. The movie has been described as an allegory of
the pain and desperation experienced by a country destroyed by
war and by the actions of its own government and which, to this
day, still can’t escape from a vicious circle of self-destruction.
Disturbing, twisted and scary, filled with very strong images of
explicit sex and violence, this is an extremely well acted film that
pushes the boundaries and plays on the lines between reality
and nightmare, right and wrong, good and evil, to both horrify and
amaze the viewers. MP
