Night Out

I'm not sure I would necessarily call this a comedy. Erotic Drama more like it. And with quite a bit of nudity to boast. Actually some of the nudity is connected to intercourse that at times feels as if it is real. I personally could not tell by watching and the safe bet is, that it is "staged". Then again background actors have been known to do their "own thing" if you catch my drift.

That aside the story involves multiple characters all on a journey to find something or themselves. Or someone - I don't want to call a human being a thing. Even if the end sequence may give that impression of some of the characters. But they all have their own mind and will. The movie itself is ok, but feels not as engaging as it could be - at least for my taste.

Sometimes you wonder if a film is deliberately trying to be bad. Night Out is one such case. The actors act with an affected theatricality that turns every scene into a laughing stock. No dialogue seems genuine, no emotion is convincing - as if strangers were trying to play people. In addition, the film constantly switches between German and English with really bad, implausible dialogue, as if it were afraid to choose a language. And the "eroticism" is anything but a turn-on. Instead of passion, there are stiff poses and pure embarrassment. The whole film is as sexy as an over-edited tax return. An absurd and boring play that thinks it's art. If you want to laugh, watch a comedy. If you want to torture yourself, watch this movie!
