It tells the story of three generations of men, the first a sex obsessed soildier, the second a Soviet era competition eater and the third a taxidermist.
I'm not going to even try to break down the story for you, far too much happens for me to make any sense of it here and most of it makes for uncomfortable viewing. Lust, love, jealousy, obsession, hatred, bestiality, birth, death and giant cats, the film has everything.
Visually it's really stunning, well crafted and the effects, as you see from the firey ejaculation below, are something else. It doesn't speak well for humanity though. The lasting impression is one of disgust for both it and us, we did after all decide to watch it, but I feel that was the idea. I like it. Not every story is meant to make you feel good, some should shock and horrify. This does both, though there are some moments of true hilarity.
Not one for the weak of stomach.
