Untitled

Pornorama
 
...oder die Bekenntnisse der mannstollen Näherin Rita Brauchts. (I am sorry, but this is not possible to translate:) As you can probably guess, the main topic is sex. It´s in the 60s and the story is taking place in Germany. The revolution did reach the place München-Ramersdorf, Bennie Köpke (Tom Schilling) is making a apprenticeship as a cameraman at the police. He does this for his mother who has worries enough with his older brother Freddi (Benno Fürmann) who has always problems with money. So he has now, that´s why Freddi persuades Bennie to make a movie, because he desperately needs the money. And what kind of movies you can make money with is obvious, sex movies, particularly at this time just in the rumours of the sexual revolution. This happens just after Bennie met Luzi (Karoline Herfurth) for whom he falls immediately. Luzi is on the rebellion side, lives in a activist-commune and should never find out that he belongs to the enemies (the police). The caotic film crew consisits amongst others out of a female main actor who can´t speak German (because the language of love ist always italian) and who doesn´t want to undress (the first sex movie without sex, "geht gar nicht" (not possible)). The lightning idea for the story comes from Luzi, after she and Bennie went , for a creative input, to a therapist for marries couples. It´s light and funny entertainment, playing in a not-suprising way with clichees, but nevertheless I was laughing a lot about all the small obstacles that are put in their way while the crew is shooting in a very improvisational way the film.
