  2. The darkest moments of 'The Painted Bird' which caused people to flee its first screening
    Based on a 1965 novel by Polish-born novelist Jerzy Kosinski, the 35mm black and white film, follows the journey of The Boy.

    He is sent to live with his grandmother by his parents during the ruthless persecution of the Holocaust. But she soon dies and the Boy is left to wander the countryside alone.

    In the opening scene, a travelling shot shows the child running as fast as he can while hanging onto his white ferret. We don't know what he's running from but another child bashes into him from the side and steals his pet. The Boy is pinned to the floor by others and watches as his ferret is doused in fuel and burned alive, its white fur charring while it writhes around and squeals.

    This is just the beginning of the relentless barbarism which will be inflicted upon the Boy, played with a haunting poker face by Petr Kotlar. Wherever he goes to seek shelter, so follow scenes of utter depravity.

    In the first town where he resides, the peasants believe he is the devil incarnate and he is taken in as a slave by the local doctor, who later buries him up to his neck in the ground in an apparent bid to save the Boy from disease.

    The Boy is later pushed into the river where he is carried downstream to his encounter with the miller.

    The first exodus was triggered at the cinema in Venice when the jealous miller, played by Udo Kier, takes a spoon to gauge out the eyeballs of a teenager who has taken too much interest in his wife. A nearby cat then devours the eyeballs on the floor.

    The Boy flees but only to be saved from the Gestapo by a perverted priest, played by Harvey Keitel. The priest gives the child to a paedophile who repeatedly tortures the Boy.

    After his next escape the Boy is seduced by a nymphomaniac who is outraged the child cannot satisfy her urges and takes revenge on the Boy by copulating with a goat. This scene prompted the second largest walk-out of the audience.”

    Sounds just like all the other movies about Holocaust - pure fiction.

    I'm not denying it absolutely but the officially accepted story is full of holes and the numbers presented are unfounded.
