| The Films of
Wiktor Grodecki
|
In the past Wiktor Grodecki (Mandragora, Body Without Soul) has brought us visions of modern reality from Eastern Europe. With his latest film, “Insatiability,” he adapts Stanislaw Igncay Witkiewicz’s provocative 1930’s novel about the collapse of Western civilization as seen thought the eyes of confused 18-year-old boy.
Our stunningly handsome young hero is an idealistic heir to a large brewery in Poland. He is corrupted by the advances of both the decadent Princess Irina, who is after his money, and the court jester, the mad gay hunchback monk, who is after his virginity. Set against a futuristic invasion of China into Eastern Europe, “Insatiability” is a wild cinematic ride, a cornucopia comprised of black comedy, sex romp and satiric socioeconomic dogma.

Body Without Soul
From the director of "Not Angels but Angels" comes a deep and intimate look at the adult video industry in today's Czech Republic. Through interviews with the young models and by actually filming the production of an adult video, this film delves into the psyche of what it takes to sell your body to the camera for little rewards. This film contains adult oriented material and scenes not suitable for young viewers.

Not Angels But Angels
A documentary on boy prostitution in Prague. Young men trying to live up to the standards of Western consumerism readily fall prey to the quick, easy money from hustling.
The young hustlers disarming frankness and need to talk become the compelling engine that drives this film. They withhold nothing. Telling their stories in often gruesome and stripped bare detail.

Mandragora
Sixteen-year-old Marek (Mirek Caslavka) leaves his dreary small-town life for the beautiful but treacherous streets of Prague, a city where everything can be had for a price. He is quickly lured by a greasy pimp into selling his body to the many tourists who flock to the city for its cathedrals, castles and tender male flesh. Emboldened by his clear marketability (hes gorgeous), Marek and his handsome streetwise buddy David decide to enter the teen flesh trade on their own. But kinky johns, all-too-available drugs and their own self-destructive natures propel them instead into a hellish world in which the instinct to survive is their only hope.
Directed by leading Czech filmmaker Wiktor Grodecki ("Not Angels But Angels", "Body Without Soul"), "Mandragora" is based on true stories with a mostly non-professional cast (including actual prostitutes) and shot on the streets, train stations and sex clubs of Prague.
