Sylvia im Reich der Wollust

I think I have got the right number of Doobys. This is one of those songs that will haunt your head while the film is gathering dust on the shelf. Maybe the film could be labelled as Eurotrash which was a popular genre back in the day. The film is meant to be a comedy as Sylvia (Corinne Brodbeck) goes in search of sexual fulfilment when her TV-mad husband ignores her sexual overtures. It may have been funny once but it has not aged well.

A couple of scenes which may have been acceptable back then would probably raise objections now but I am not going to write spoilers. On the plus side, the leading ladies are not shy doing their nude scenes and thankfully look totally natural. Ajita Wilson is also in this and bearing in mind how trans people are coming to the fore, it could be said that she was way ahead of her time. The locations from the Côte d'Azure to the Austrian Tyrol look good, so what a pity we do not see more of them. Finally, the last shot of the aeroplane is pure Benny Hill but it does not save the film.
