Cruentation

Dir. Iona Pelovska
This silent surrealist pornographic short film explicitly portrays footage of a sex act between a man and woman culminating in the conception and birth of a monstrous infant. The title refers to the medieval belief that the body of a murder victim would begin bleeding spontaneously in the presence of the murderer — so is this meant to be an indictment of the morality of biological reproduction? I’ll let you be the judge. (Richard Rosenbaum)
