This may sound a bit random, but this is the second film I have seen recently with pretty explicit child nudity in it, i.e actually having a child's penis on the screen.... (The other one is Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story), so my question is, is that kosher? I would have thought most directors would avoid doing that anyway....
"For when I was hungry you fed me, when I was thirsty you gave me something to drink"
I guess as long as it isn't used sexually? I dunno.
shareIt is an independent film, filmed in Europe. Child nudity in films is fairly common in non-US productions.
shareThat is true. And America doesn't seem to care either.(Hence Slumdog Millionaire was so well received) It's only nudity of American kids that is the taboo.

Writing is my favorite hobby. Writing something that many can enjoy is my favorite dream.
I guess I didn't see the penis! If you're referring to Tobo running naked in the rain, you've a better eye than I do because I was wondering as I watched if they could keep it concealed and I never saw so much as a bump with all the rain and cloud cover - and a fairly long camera shot once he was full length and not waist up as in the opening of the scene!
If there was another "penis scene", I didn't see it!
So you think the scene with Tolo running in the rain ... in the dark ... was explicit??? I think this film handled child sexuality accurately and honestly. Try to remember that this takes place in 1940 in rural Poland.
