Pornografia. Jan Jakub Kolski, 2003.
😿
Edition screened: MGE DVD, released 2005. Polish language with English subtitles. Runtime approximately 152 minutes.
Summary: Leech(?) swallowing.
Details: A curious scene occurs 50:15-50:30, in which a group of folks are standing in a pasture near a manure pile. Two teenagers say “eww” and step on, intending to kill, what appears to be a large worm or a leech. An older man, Fryderyk, picks up the 4-inch creature, offers it around to see if anyone else wants it, then swallows it whole and dirty.
This is the only such inscrutable scene in an otherwise straightforward film set in the French countryside during German occupation. Fryderyk is a bit of a troublemaker, and the stunt in the pasture might indicate his status as a Devil.
Despite the title, Pornografia is not sexually explicit in any way. The cover of the MGE disk won 2nd prize in Poland’s 2005 Worst Media Packaging contest.
