While the UK has already released a censored version of the film, and the U.S. plans for an unrated and uncut release (via Invincible), Srdjan Spasojevic’s A Serbian Film (review) has become the face of controversy in Spain.
According to Spanish Website El Pais, Sitges festival director Angel Sala has been formally charged with the exhibition of “child pornography” in connection with the October 2010 screening of the film in Spain.
