The film is a collection of fictional (unconnected) episodes depicting and analysing various forms of sexuality that go beyond 'normal' heterosexual relations. The subjects of the four episodes are lesbianism, transvestitism, male homosexuality, and sadomasochism. Some stiff grey-haired academic provides a voice-over and also the analysis between the pieces.
Acting
Stiff performances that match the wooden narration beat for beat.
Production
Budget so low the 'academic' set is clearly someone's actual living room.
Writing
Dialogue that makes sex sound like a tax audit.
Director
Franz Marischka
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of West Germany's 1970s 'Sittenfilm' wave—exploitation cinema disguised as sexual education to bypass obscenity laws.
Director Franz Marischka pivoted from these faux-documentaries to actual hardcore in the 1980s, completing the trajectory this film only hinted at.
