CGiii Comment
First impression: Grodecki obviously watched Passolini and was mistakenly inspired.
All the good work that he has done before has simply vanished into thin air with this apocalyptic, self-serving, carbuncle of indulgent trash.
It's almost like watching Salo - complete with the less savory scenes - but worse, if that is at all possible.
Depravity on film is a strange vice - one that should not have pretensions of art - as this does.
It may be having a dig a Westernism but it certainly casts a shadow over the future of Polish cinema - no-one could possibly like this - and that goes for the director too.
Credibility has never flown out a window so fast.
No trailer...
