>>7624439 If you are seriously interested in "the grotesque" (which is ultimately the best description for this theme) and want to see it done to perfection, I enthusiastically recommend Peter Greenaway's films; you could pick any of them and strike gold, but my favorite is The Baby of Mâcon: that movie fractured my skull.
