A Serbian Film (2010) - Blu-ray Forum

Wow, so when all is said and done, this film will (in all likelihood) have at least four different cuts on Blu-ray, which I believe is a record for censorship-related cuts on BD:

The

Swedish Blu-ray, which seems to be the only uncut version on BD--this may or may not be available in Denmark and/or Finland (it has been banned in Norway), but the BD should be identical in all three territories.

The

US Blu-ray, which would seem to be 103 minutes long, with ca. 1 min. of cuts (TBC, however).

The

UK Blu-ray, which is 100 minutes long with ca. 4 min, of cuts.

The

German Blu-ray, which appears to be 86 minutes long with ca. 18 min. of cuts.

The only logical choice for an uncut version from anywhere else (assuming the US distributor doesn't change their minds) would be France, (or possibly Hong Kong?). I have a feeling the Japanese will find the sex problematic and that there may be optical blurring on any Japanese editions, otherwise I'd throw them into the mix as well, and apparently our friendly neighborhood smut purveyors in Austria don't want to touch this one with a ten foot pole right now.

I feel like we're back in the good ol' days of the late 20th Century comparing DVD versions--it's kind of exciting as long as you can import the uncut edition.
