Your Child, That Unknown Creature

About This Movie

Your Child, That Unknown Creature is quite the oddity within the realm of documentary filmmaking. This piece, a continuation of Oswald Kolle’s explorations into sex education, feels more like a family therapy session than a typical documentary. The Kolle family appears openly nude, discussing topics ranging from parental guidance to children's sexual health. The pacing is somewhat disjointed, which mirrors the awkwardness of the conversations. It’s fascinating, really, how they tackle themes of sexuality, self-discovery, and familial openness in such a raw manner. The performances are unvarnished, almost like a candid home video, giving the film a distinctive and unfiltered vibe that’s hard to shake off. It’s a rare glimpse into a time when such discussions were still largely taboo.

Your Child, That Unknown Creature is a lesser-known title that occasionally surfaces among collectors, often finding its way into discussions for its controversial take on sexuality in the family setting. The film has limited availability, primarily circulating in niche documentary collections. Its unique approach and frank discussions have led to a dedicated but small group of collectors who appreciate its historical context and candid exploration of topics that remain pertinent today.
