The Final Member

[JesusA (imported)]

The Final Member is the title of a new documentary film, due to be released on April 18th, about the international penis museum in Husavik, Iceland. Below are the blurb about the film from the "official" web site and links both to that web site and the film trailer. While there will be a limited theatre release, it's mostly a straight-to-DVD film. While I normally wouldn't advertise anything that costs money here, US$9.99 seems cheap for such a strange bit of trivia. Something to leave lying around the house for guests to discover?

Paris has the Louvre, London has the Tate Modern, and New York the Metropolitan Museum. But Husavik, Iceland—a diminutive village on the fringe of the Arctic Circle—boasts the world’s only museum devoted exclusively to painstakingly preserved male genitalia. Founded and curated by Sigurður “Siggi” Hjartarson, the Icelandic Phallological Museum houses four decades worth of mammalian members, from a petite field mouse to the colossal sperm whale, and every “thing” in between. Lamentably, Siggi’s collection lacks the holy grail of phallic phantasmagoria: a human specimen. Siggi’s world changes dramatically when he receives generous offers from an elderly Icelandic Casanova and an eccentric American. However, as the competition for eternal penile preservation heats up between the two men, Siggi soon discovers that this process is more complicated than it initially appeared.

In their debut feature film, Jonah Bekhor and Zach Math follow Siggi on his dogged, often emotional quest to complete his exhibition in a peculiar, yet startlingly relatable, story of self-fulfillment and the value of personal legacies (both big and small).

Looks like a "freak parade" presentation to me...

It is interesting as Drafthouse Films is a pretty well established production company. I can not figure out if this was in the can for a while as first donor was born in 1915 and and signed his form in 1996 and the American, Tom Mitchell signed his paperwork 2001. Seems Mr. Mitchell should be made an honorary member of Eunuch Archives. Hopefully it might make the big screens in the larger cities. This is not for general family viewing, I doubt my wife would enjoy it.

He was once a member. He was banned from here for strong cause. He's not welcome back here.
