Lederhosen film

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under lederhosen film is defined as a erotic film from German-speaking production, rural, alpine environment plays. The term is used as a collective term for German and Austrian erotic comedies that were filmed mainly in the 1970s and early 1980s.

The films are in the tradition of hearty comedies of Bauer Theater and numerous tough, in alpine surroundings gambling Comedies like Ehestreik (1935 and 1953), Monstrous Regiment (1936), The Sinful Village (1940), The Sinful Village (1954), the night without Moral (1953) or Two Bavarians in the Harem (1957).

As with these models, the comedy of the Lederhosen films thrives on the disproportion between outward modesty and the excessive instinctiveness of the main characters. The decent showing off in public contrasts with the secret fuss , the window in the chamber and the effort not to be caught. What was new in the Lederhosen films was the freedom of movement that arose in the wake of the sex wave .

Lederhosen films often have a self-deprecating break and sometimes play with clichés from homeland films . Examples are the seven-part series by director Franz Marischka Liebesgrüße aus der Lederhose , the film series Laß itucken, Kumpel (which takes place in the buddy environment of the Ruhrpott ) or the Josefine Mutzenbacher films, which, however, had little to do with the original novel by Felix Salten . Lederhosen films were often cheap productions, but mostly extremely successful at the box office. The era of the Lederhosen films ended when the setting for sex films was relocated more to Mediterranean or exotic areas.

The films experienced a “second bloom” through the numerous repetitions on private television in the 1980s / 90s in connection with the broadcasting of plays from the Theaterstadl Peter Steiner , who was a well-known actor in the Lederhosen films .

Important directors of films in this genre were: Franz Marischka, Franz Antel , Alois Brummer , Jürgen Enz , Franz Josef Gottlieb , Siggi Götz , Gunter Otto.

A major producer was Karl Spiehs with his Munich Lisa Film .

This genre has also been discovered and processed by porn films since the 1990s .
