Marble Ass

About This Movie

Marble Ass is quite the curious piece of cinema from the mid-'90s. Set against the gritty backdrop of Belgrade during its war-ridden days, it follows a trans couple who embrace their unconventional profession as a means of pacifism. The film blends comedy and drama with war themes, creating this odd yet engaging tone that feels both raw and intimate. The pacing can be a bit erratic, but it captures the chaotic atmosphere of the time well. What’s distinctive here is how it tackles the urges of society during turmoil, using practical effects and performances that stay with you. It's definitely not your run-of-the-mill war film, more of a commentary wrapped in an unusual narrative guise.
