Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cult Epics\u2019 sixth entry in their adult loop series features more that 2+ hours of smut, largely culled from German sources. Some of the 12 Euro-centric shorts feature dialogue and oral foley effects, but most of the titles are accompanied by vintage stock \/ porn music which adds both authenticity and heightens the quaintness of films that offered 70s audiences graphic, full-colour footage before home video rendered loops obsolete.<\/p>\n

The curated collection does have a specific flow, moving from mass-gatherings to group pursuits, and later standard porn fare in which strangers engage in spontaneous whoopee and wholly non-narrative scenarios.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove-In\u201d features Bavarian hippies assembling for lunch, drinking beer and gnawing on communal salami sticks before disrobing and mass-copulating in a forest clearing. The lounge-scored short is bookended with shots of a Love-In sign that\u2019s carried to the picnic field.<\/p>\n

\u201cDer Strich\u201d may also have originated from the same filmmakers, using a street sign to stamp the film with a title card and launch its rudimentary story of cars easing down a forest road peppered with prostitutes. A quartet of johns and streetwalkers gather in a hideous 70s bedroom and go through the standard motions before the camera cuts back to the rural red light street for a final shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cCaf\u00e9 de Paris\u201d has a woman \u2018stumbling\u2019 upon friend at a street caf\u00e9 before the women leave with a porn-mustachioed stud, undoubtedly irresistible due to his half-open shirt, gold chains, and verdant\u00a0chest hair. A waiter carrying drinks pops out from the caf\u00e9 and tracks them down to pay for the beer tab, but instead of paying in cash, he’s whisked him off to a hotel room and given\u00a0payment in fleshy romping. \u201cSusses Dessert\u201d features a similar story in which a boyfriend picks up his babe from the airport and hooks up with friends at a lakeside restaurant. Still peckish after lunch, the quartet retreat to another hideous apartment and have assorted dessert.<\/p>\n

\u201cDas Bumsquartett am Swimmingpool\u201d features a quartet fornicating in a dimly lit indoor pool, whereas the epic-length \u201cRums-Skandal im Nachtlokal\u201d comes with optical titles and features the back & forth of dinner theatre master thespians drifting from stage scenarios to curtained private booth sessions with upscale patrons. The stage scenarios blow through naughty schoolgirl and doctor examination skits, with the audience cheering and applauding after each set. Like all of the aforementioned shorts, there\u2019s a perfectly matched selection of music \u2013 this time it\u2019s a mix of disco-lounge \/ Saturday Night Fever<\/strong> soundalikes \u2013 but for this film there may have been a mixed soundtrack at one point. Cutaways often feature short quips between performers, and the skits have dialogue exchanges.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbartige Begierden\u201d is similarly affected with its missing soundtrack replaced by disco-orchestral stock music, and starts with two girlfriends chatting over ice cream before a nude poolside dip, where the pair decides to enliven their afternoon by contacting a Want Ad in a Weekend<\/em> smut magazine. The pair bike to the older man\u2019s upscale pad, and are bullied into a slightly Sadean scenario of a couple boffing while other girl\u2019s obliged to watch from under a glass table where she\u2019s tethered. The man barks orders and chastises the girls who realize he\u2019s a jerk, but feel compelled to go through with his peculiar S&M needs just to quicken an end to their bad choice. It\u2019s a strange short because it completely lacks the heady glee of the rest: everyone is unhappy primarily because the john yells and admonishes his partners instead of inviting and complimenting.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also evident \u201cBegierden\u201d was shot in someone\u2019s upscale apartment in a modern setting: it\u2019s a spacious pad with (slightly) tasteful furniture and d\u00e9cor, and although the filmmakers never reveal names or addresses, in one shot it\u2019s easy to see details of the owner’s vacation photos and pet pooch, mounted in a framed collage.<\/p>\n

\u201cTealove\u201d is the DVD collection\u2019s longest and most overt attempt to bring some narrative to the sex loop genre. A tea gathering among friends expands into peephole voyeurism of girl-girl and boy-girl activities, whereas \u201cHochwurden Spritzt Mal Wieder\u201d \u2013 the DVD\u2019s silliest entry \u2013 features two women, a priest, and a banana in a train cabin, and a \u2018Was it all a dream or reality?\u2019 twist finale. The women become jealous of each other when one\u2019s receiving more \u2018internal mooshee sprinkling\u2019 than the other, and the priest\u2019s dialogue is officious and filled with statements of approval, wonderment, bafflement, and a stern determination to transform the women\u2019s exhibition of prurient excess into a higher moral celebration of the body. Or something like that.<\/p>\n

The brief \u201cUntitled\u201d was filmed at a southern European seaside resort and features a short narrative in which two women return to the pub from where they were ousted by the owner because he didn\u2019t like girl-girl manifestations in the fine establishment’s private room.<\/p>\n

\u201cDie Strand Fotograf\u201d features hysterical post-sync dialogue between a bickering couple on a beach trip. When the hubbie sees a a wandering sex kitten, he follows her with his camera into the woods, and fulfills the needs of his new partner, and soon after, his ever-complaining wife. The camerawork is very loopy \u2013 lots of circular, rotating movements \u2013 and the slight under-cranking gives the short a slapstick feel \u2013 whereas \u201cBumsscheibe\u201d is a faux news report in which an anchorman\u2019s efforts to report \u2018erotic news\u2019 are interrupted with technical gaffes and sex vignettes with whiny, complaining participants.<\/p>\n

A few films feature slo-mo footage \u2013 a blow-job is prolonged in \u201cTealove,\u201d and a weird drooling \/ dribbling \/ jiggling in \u201cCaf\u00e9 de Paris\u201d comes off as impromptu rather than planned, as though someone discovered the camera\u2019s overcranking feature halfway through production.<\/p>\n

The quality of the loops is very variable, as certain film stocks of the era were known to start losing colour over time, rendering once vibrant images to reddish, orange, or bluish-hues. Cult Epics\u2019 transfer\u2019s are uniformly solid, making the best of these archival prints, and the stock music stems from clean, digital sources, preserving the nuances of these vintage stereo tracks.<\/p>\n

Two bonus shorts sporting stock rock-styled music\u00a0stem from the U.S., and are in better technical shape (if not a little too Kodachrome blue & red). “Untitled #1” has three women opening their Xmas presents and testing out their new toys, and “Untitled #2” has a stud with the fattest muttonchops known to humanity being pleasured by two girls.<\/p>\n

Whereas the European shorts pack an unending quantity of clinical details \u2013 maybe the end-goal was to photograph the most eruptions within the standard 10-15 mins. loop running time \u2013 the U.S. samples are more tame, fixating on the nuances of lone pairings instead of constantly rotating couples, repositionings, and massive ramming. Because all of the dubbed shorts are in German and lack any subtitles, a little knowledge of the language will add to the enjoyment of the shorts\u2019 ridiculous mini-scenarios and the bickering, whining performers who either never get a chance, don\u2019t get enough, and \/ or want their turn amid constantly flowing fluids, glistening private parts, and a banana that either felt very loved, or wished it was back in the fruit bowl.<\/p>\n

Cult Epics\u2019 Vintage Erotica series is comprised of Anno 1920<\/a><\/strong>, Anno 1930<\/a><\/strong>, Anno 1940<\/a><\/strong>, Anno 1950<\/a><\/strong>, Anno 1960<\/a><\/strong> , and Anno 1970.<\/strong><\/p>\n
