Bizarre trip in feminity
This is not a XXX-porno but it is hard to describe this movie without using words that will be deleted from a censorship. It is a Ken Russelleque movie about every kind of sexual addiction and this is really funny!!! It is horror with a lot of fun, maybe a little bit to long, but what shells? You will see more than three scenes that you will never forget and the actress is beautiful - ACHTUNG! It is very british but nothing for the society of Merchant/Ivory-fans!!!
extraordinary film
A quite extraordinary film about a young woman who discovers that after having sex with her men dissolve within her leaving just a pile of clothing. This is very low budget and the actors struggle a little with a sometimes awkward script but had this bold film been made say by a big budget Japanese company it would have been virtually unwatchable. Here Wolfgang also mixes in humour and so again the otherwise very bleak tale is lightened somewhat. I didn't like the way the male lead performed but imagine this was at the instigation of the director who wanted the portrayal to be of a 'sensitive' male. Unfortunately Wolfgang seems to confuse' sensitivity' with being moronic and when the character speaks of picking flowers in the park with such a spooky voice we sense true craziness. Some great moments and overall a slice of something very different.
Too lengthy for total penetration
If you are looking for something "leftfield" and not too serious, then this is the film for you. It's not going to win any awards for acting and the script is at times wayward and unnecessary but it's fun nonetheless. I probably would have enjoyed this more if they had cut the running time down to around 60-70 minutes and therefore cutting out chunks that were just padding out the film (the cellar scene and most of the last segment of film in particular). I've given this film 6 out of 10 because for me it wasn't sharp enough at times and it seemed to lose it's way towards the end. Otherwise it's a worthy watch and throws up some memorable scenes.

Completely stupid - but fun enough - black comedy thriller
I saw director Wolfgang Büld's 'Twisted Sisters' not too long ago, and thought it was a decent little twisted flick. This earlier film, however, makes Twisted Sisters look like The Sound of Music - as they don't get much weirder and completely nonsensical than Penetration Angst! The plot obviously takes its main plot point from the idea of a woman's anxiety when it comes to having sex for the first time. It could be said that this is a 'feminist' film, although personally I very much doubt that was on the director's mind...even if he does seem to have a thing men faring badly when it comes to sex (judging by the two films I've seen from him). The plot focuses on a young lady named Helen. Helen is raped one night in a car, and is surprised when her attacker disappears! It soon transpires that he has, in fact, disappeared into her; and Helen then finds herself with an insatiable thirst for men. Meanwhile, a man named Dennis, whom Helen knows, begins dating a Siamese twin...a love story with disastrous consequences.
If there's one thing that can definitely be said about this film, it's that it makes you think about things you'd never normally think about! The thought of the implications and logistics of having sex with Siamese twins never entered my head before seeing this film! There's a heavy dose of humour, and the director seems to really enjoy throwing in a barrage of ridiculous ideas. The acting is mostly atrocious, and the dubbing is even worse; but clearly the star of the show is the plot, which is always enough of a distraction. As if a (literally) hungry vagina isn't enough of a silly reason for a film; the other plot line, while somewhat more possible, is no less stupid! There are a couple of decent scenes in the movie, and one of them involves Siamese twins and an electric knife! The film isn't really all that gory, but there's plenty of slutty women and whatnot. It all boils down to a conclusion that (somehow) manages to bring everything together, and while this is the sort of film that will very much divide opinion; I'd recommend it to anyone that doesn't mind incoherency and ridiculousness so long as there's fun to be had.
