Die Klosterschülerinnen is a German-French soft sex film by Eberhard Schröder from 1972 with the then 17-year-old Sascha Hehn in one of his early roles. The story was based on a novel by Günther Hunold .
action
The venerable mother superior leads a strict regiment in her Bavarian monastery school, in which modesty and piety, coupled with moral theological views from the 19th century, are the most important maxims that the growing young girls, who are in the blasphemous world "out there" so many temptations are exposed to be given on the way to life. The approximately 120 convent students are taught by religious nuns. But the young, life-hungry girls don't take all of this seriously: they are in the experimental stage, want to try everything that is fun, and this of course includes love, sex and enjoying their own bodies as well as those of their peers of the same sex or of the same sex.
Gundula and Edith, for example, are such precocious fruits who want to explore life outside the monastery walls. One night they take off their modest monastery school clothing and dress in a modern and provocative way, just as it is quite normal for their peers outside. You climb over the asylum wall and end up in the next disco to meet some nice and willing guys like Tommy Decker. When they are chauffeured back behind the monastery walls in the rickety student VW , however, they discover that such a small and uncomfortable car is only a poor substitute for bed. Harriet and Gerda, on the other hand, want to try out in a very practical way whether the love between woman and woman is perverse, masturbation is a sin and the sexual act between two unmarried people is actually fornication, as Sister Barbara claims with full conviction. Well, the two pretty ones enjoy each other and have completely different experiences. But some girls also have terrible experiences; Thus, the student councilor Frisch abused her position of power and drugged a girl in order to act out her lesbian tendencies on her.
Production notes
The monastery students was made in early winter (December 1971 and January 1972) in Bavaria and is considered to be one of the fastest films pushed into cinemas after the end of shooting: the premiere was on January 28, 1972.
Composer Giorgio Moroder was at the very beginning of his career, which would take him to Hollywood in the same decade and which would bring him his first Oscar at the end of the same decade .
The participation of the established, respected and serious theater and film artist Ellen Frank in a sex film is extremely astonishing . Already almost 68 years old at the time, Ellen Frank had hardly been seen on screen since the mid-1950s. In the 1930s, the native of East Frisia was an omnipresent film actress who appeared in supporting supporting roles alongside top stars such as Heinz Rühmann and Hans Albers .
The main location was Egg Castle near Deggendorf.
criticism
The film received correspondingly harsh reactions from the Catholic film critics, mainly because of the sharp criticism expressed there of the overcoming sexual morality of the Catholic Church and the explicitly depicted lesbian scenes.
For the lexicon of international films , Die Klosterschülerinnen was a "magazine-style film."
