- Marble Ass
One of the more unusual gay-themed films to have come out of Europe this decade, Marble Ass is a gutsy, transgender-positive political and social drama that champions individual creativity against the mindless macho militarism that has kept the Balkan area in turmoil for years. Set in a rambling house in suburban Belgrade, the story focuses on Merlyn, a tough but good-hearted transvestite prostitute and her roommate, fellow working "girl" Sanela. Their routine is shattered when Johnny, a crazed ex-lover, is decommissioned from the army and arrives at her house full of barely repressed rage.
The film works both as a political allegory and an unflinching look at the often dangerous gay sex-for-sale world. The bleached-blond 37 year-old Sanela is a wonderful creation - mouthy and strong, she is not afraid to defend herself and others. At the same time she is realistic about her condition in life - that of an aging hustler. When pressed, she acknowledges that her tricks know that she is not a woman, but defends her drag by explaining that it is merely "show business". A brave film in its championing of sexual diversity.

- Yugoslav Transgendered Heroes: Virginia and Marble Ass
Kevin Moss
(...) Instead of deploying homophobia, Žilnik uses the subversive power of the transvestite to challenge the stability of all identities. Its playful, carnivalistic satire spills over, infecting the audience and challenging hegemonic culture in ways that Virgina does not. National and ethnic hatred, civil war and ethnic cleansing make sense only if nationality is somehow essential, if national differences are biological and natural, rather than constructed. Davidovich claims that the filmmaker Emir Kusturica thought Gypsies and homosexuals have a higher body temperature and special blood. It is hard to imagine a clearer embodiment of the essential biological nature of ethnicity and sexuality than blood. But Žilnik's transvestite prostitutes, by revealing the constructed nature of their own gender, explode such notions to deprive hegemonic culture of its claim to naturalized essential identities. Virgina, though originally a multicultural project, ends up reaffirming traditional gender roles, while Marble Ass utilizes the performative nature of gender to destabilize national and ethnic identity as well. Both films are conceived as anti-nationalist, yet only Marble Ass challenges nationalism at its core, by subverting the very idea of a natural, essential, identity.

- Old School Capitalism: An Interview with Zelimir Zilnik
Greg DeCuir Jr.
(...) DeCuir: Later that year you shot a feature film titled Dupe od mramora (Marble Ass, 1994), which dealt with gay subculture in Belgrade. How did people react to this film in Serbia?
Žilnik: I was researching how I should make a film about young people coming back from the war. I waited at the train station to talk to some of them and take some notes. A woman asked me, “Old man, do you want to go for a ride?” I said, “Please, leave me alone.” She said, “Oh Želimir, are you playing with me? I know you’re very open for sexual experiences.” I said, “How do you know me?” She said, “I’m Vera.” At that moment I recognized that it was an actor who took part in a scene with a group of gay people in my film Lijepe žene prolaze kroz grad/Pretty Women Passing Through the City (1985).
