Dorothea's Rache is a German-French feature film directed by Peter Fleischmann from 1974.
action
Dorothea introduces herself personally to the viewer, who acts as a voyeur : She is 17 years old, goes to high school, she lives with her parents in Hamburg in financially good and apparently decent circumstances, her father initially has a flourishing factory for salmon bags , the mother has two lovers - and she herself is looking for love.
Together with her friends, she uses a Super 8 camera to make a parody of educational films such as “ Schoolgirl Report ” .
At the same time, Dorothea goes to the neighborhood alone to find out something about love. On the first attempt, she gets involved with three pot-bellied mid-forties and has to discover that she was only sexually exploited by them. She then films and questions the three partly married men, who are embarrassed about this, so that they each hold a towel in front of their faces in order not to be recognized.
Your teacher Dr. Wagg, who tells her a lot of theoretical things, especially about the change in sexuality over the millennia, confesses his love for her, which she does not reciprocate. As a result, he commits suicide. The fifty-year-old consul and womanizer named Albert asks Dorothea for a tête-à-tête , but can only impart practical knowledge about sexuality to her.
Dorothea gets to know a prostitute named Sissi, with whom she spends a lot of time, and out of interest takes on a suitor who in turn ejaculates when she touches her and whips her with his belt out of frustration. She looks at the rather primitive performances of “Aunt clitoris against the district pollinator ” in a Reeperbahn varieté, in which the women are exclusively portrayed as sexual objects, and leaves the restaurant more disgusted than bored. In a Sado Maso club she gets to know the other side, where the customers are whipped and tortured, but the dominatrix is unhappy in her situation, is disgusted with these "perverts" and asks Dorothea to stay with her, but she does refuses.
After all these unpleasant experiences, Jesus appears to her in person, with whom she also sleeps; he advises her: “Sleep with children and fools, and you will be happier.” Following his advice, she caresses a boy, but her attempt at seduction is abruptly interrupted by his mother. Thereupon she satisfies a “fool” in a coal cellar, a passer-by - excited by the fool's moans - satisfies herself with the handle of her pram.
At home her father complains about the economic decline of his company, and Dorothea offers him coitus as a consolation; but he explains to her that incest is forbidden for biological reasons, whereupon she criticizes that this is no longer appropriate because the birth control pill is now available.
The happy ending is that Dorothea with their friends and girlfriends moves to the countryside and in a municipality , the free love live. She no longer grants the voyeur details or insights and says goodbye to him.
criticism
"A shocker intended as a reaction to the sex and porn wave of the early 1970s."
