SEX FREEDOM IN GERMANY

This German sexumentary was shot in 1970 but didn’t see the light of U.S. projectors until three years later. Fitting, then, that it would get released by a company called Sunset International: by 1973, the sun had clearly set on this type of exploitation movie. It didn’t matter that the MPAA slapped it with an X rating; the phenomenal success of Deep Throat one year earlier spelled the end for this particular variety of soft sexploitation. It’s a shame, because if the very funny and entertaining Sex Freedom in Germany is any indication, the flame under this subgenre was turned off just as things were really beginning to cook.
