Body Without Soul (1996) Wiktor Grodecki.

I had totally forgotten just how much of an epic downer this Documentary is! And Jeez, Louise!!! The self-confessed hedonist, pathologist/pornographer chap is a proper odd duck!!! I've never been big on meeting shady folk in dark alleys, but he's ABSOLUTELY one to avoid!!!That being said, if, like me, you maintain a morbid penchant for autopsy footage, this features, perhaps, one of the more eccentric examples. There doesn't appear to be much in the way of editorialising, the director, to his great credit, just lets the damaged, melancholy young men talk openly about their desperately unlovely existence as male prostitutes. In truth, the bloody evisceration of the cadaver acts a colourful respite from the sad boy's grey litany of despair.
