Contents/Summary
- Summary
- “I set "Pornography" in wartime Poland in order to show that it is not only national-catholic stories about Poland that can be told” – wrote Witold Gombrowicz. Indeed, the setting of this “erotic quartet” is accidental. Two middle aged men, a writer and a “man of the theatre”, leave occupied Warsaw for a friend’s provincial manor. Soon they start playing a mysterious and highly ambiguous game. They want to ignite the “chemistry of love” between their host’s beautiful daughter and a young farmhand – both adolescent, charming yet ignorant of their mutual attraction. The only obstacle is the daughter’s fiancée – a man from her social class, but naïve, vain and boring. The execution of a deserting officer in the Polish Home Army offers the two artists the chance to unite the young lovers in murder. A highly sensual and very well acted film, with an unexpected twist added by Jan Jakub Kolski in his adaptation of Gombrowicz’s novel.
