Pornografia is a 2003 Polish-language film directed by Jan Jakub Kolski. It is based on the 1960 novel of the same name by Witold Gombrowicz, set in Nazi-occupied Poland during World War II.
A Polish-French co-production, the film touches on themes such as European society of the 1940s as a whole, conspiracy theories, guerrilla warfare, the Nazi invasion, murder, suicide, as well as eroticism, guilt, and manipulation of youth by adults.
The score, composed by Zygmunt Konieczny, won the Georges Delerue Award at Film Fest Gent in 2003.
