Schnick Schnack Schnuck

This is an adult movie, there is no other way to describe this. Love may not be the way to describe the acts happening here. And it's clear you don't have "real" actors in this. They have to perform sexual acts and actors who want to have a career wouldn't do the things that you will see in here.

So as you can imagine, you should not be easily offended. Neither by the "acting" nor by the explicit images shown. It still is trying to portray the free thinking mind of a generation. Especially when it comes to sexual habits and who does what to who (homosexual acts or bisexual acts are performed to be more specific). You also have a sort of breaking of 4th walls when characters talk about how ridiculous porn is, where people just get it on, just to get it on themselves. So there may be some winks here and there thrown into the mix.

It's short (no pun intended) and there have been worse movies I've seen. It just never reaches climax ... well you know what I mean ;o)

First of all: This is porn. If you do not want to see people having sex, do not watch it.

Then again, it is nothing like regular mainstream porn.

What I like about it: This is porn that I can relate to. You see regular people, not porn actors. In fact, they are not even actors at all. Average students. No dumb porn clichés. You see natural smart modern and open-minded young people, like you can meet at university. One critical review called the actresses "unattractive". Wow. Completely missing the point (and: seriously?). If that reviewer does consume porn I do not want to know what kind.

This film is not good because it has an amazing story. Guess what, it doesn't. You do not get deep stories with problems, like you would in French or Spanish films on the border of pornographic content. Personally, I never liked that kind of combination. Could someone for once just show sex in a positive way, without any problems? Yes, it is possible.

This film's strength is showing regular people and being very sex-positive. Showing modern life at its most open. Nothing more, nothing less. But that is a lot in a world full of very questionable depictions of sex.

This is a view of sexuality I can relate to.

I cannot agree at all with most things labelled porn. The picture of men and women you see mostly disgusts me. It starts with the types of people - types I cannot relate to at all. And also, it's mostly ridiculously acted and stereotypical.

Luckily, you can find alternative porn nowadays which is different, showing natural people having sex. Feature films in that area are still rare though. This is one of the few. I would count "9 Songs" as another one.

It's too bad this film wasn't bigger and did not lead to a wider discussion of porn. German public-broadcasting radio station Deutschlandfunk had an interesting feature about it. Generally, it did not get much attention though. I think that would have been good. There are far too many people out there whose views of sex have been influenced by the kind of questionable mainstream porn you can find everywhere.

It's not a coincidence that the female part of the screenwriter/director/producer duo was doing a PhD in art history, with the topic "art and pornography".

Clearly, the two filmmakers are very critical towards mainstream porn and want to contribute to establishing a more positive kind of porn. If that is interesting to you, give it a try. I wished that there would be a big wave of this new kind of pornography, even feature films. The world needs it, in the name of healthy positive views of sex.

My seven stars at not for the acting performance and also not for the pictures and and the storyline. So why did i decide to give 7 stars? The intention here was not to make a Hollywood blockbuster. The genre is not a drama, a comedy or tragedy it is an adult movie and it should be nothing else.

They wanted to create a different kind of porn, a movie where the actors and actresses have real sex that is not only the one action which you can see only on every porn side and you can feel that through the movie.

It's a porn you can - but doesn't have to watch as whole movie. It gives you chills and is also kind of funny because often it makes fun of the standard porn Industry. It's not a good movie but it's a good adult movie and that's what they wanted I think .

...in my opinion. Strangely enough these were the 3 oldest reviews after release, and only the last one from 2020 I can wholeheartedly agree on - he understood the intention of this film.

As a regular "Hetero Honk" (word from the movie), I'd add that One could indeed say it's a manifest for:

• making Love in a sensual way (many could learn from),
• Women to be allowed to come too, be it on film or IRL (..Hashtag "MeToo" is already taken, meeh)
• Acceptance of the preferences and physiques of regular humans, and that everyone can and should get along with each other well
• Polyamory in whatever form (insert-List-here)

and a Manifest against:

• the usual male-centered 14min mainstream P0rn clip, made for men to come quick (and women not at all),
• the unnatural, unachievable body-image held high in social media creating rising psychological problems (relatively new issue),
• Jealousy and serial-monogamy and its Drama (relatively old issue).

I would Not describe this little movie as P0rn, but a film about the delight of human sexual spontaneity as it's best.

May it inspire many!

Respect for all the brave Actors and the Makers, for successfully achieving the tricky balance-act between all the sexual preferences involved without alienating nor putting off Anyone.

PS: and don't forget to watch the OutTakes, was it either before/after the Credits, they are great too :)
