Instructions for sexual dissatisfaction is the film version of the stage program of the same name by Austrian cabaret artist Bernhard Ludwig from 2002. The trademark of the trained psychologist and psychotherapist is the enrichment of his program with psychotherapeutic topics, which he brings to the cinema for the first time with the film.
After it opened in theaters on August 1, 2002, over 80,000 people in Germany saw the film. The box office result was just under 450,000 euros.
action
The film shows a compressed version of Ludwig's cabaret program. He stands alone on stage and explains to the audience, supported by a felt pen and a flipchart , how men and women become or remain sexually dissatisfied. In the second part, the "sexual healing" takes place (German: sexual healing). With the help of renowned sex therapists , suggestions for solutions are developed and given interactively with the audience.
background
It is not only unusual that the cabaret program was shown as a film in the cinema, but also that more is required of the audience than passive consumption. So that the “instructions” work and can develop their full effect, a catalog of a total of 10 rules has been compiled by the film distributor. This included a seating arrangement in which women should sit strictly on the left and men on the right, in order to enable "undisturbed, anonymous collaboration"; the cinema staff was instructed not to start the film until the seating arrangement was observed. Furthermore, the immediate vicinity of acquaintances should be avoided. Director Peter Hackl: “Our project pretty much violates all the rules that apply to a movie. Seen in this way, it is technically a movie, but what happens in the cinema, I would rather describe as a sensory experience with its own rules. "
criticism
"All alone on a stage, the friendly, plump man with the 'rose garden' (almost bald head) speaks unabashedly, amusing, lustful and amusing for 99 minutes about topic No. 1 and gives the audience a special kind of pleasure with his insights and subtle questions If you don't laugh here, you're lost for sex and cinema. "
“Without a visible cut, the production films a cabaret evening by the psychologist Bernhard Ludwig, in which he deals with the topic of sexuality and asks questions to the live audience that are also directed at the cinema audience. A cinematic attempt to project a theatrical success directly onto the screen, which is undemanding in terms of film, but in terms of content is very amusing. Ludwig convincingly mixes alleged scientific studies with life experience and wit. "
