action
Mike and Werner are two work colleagues who are constantly in a kind of competitive situation and whose only common interest is beautiful, young women. In their free time they hunt for erotic conquests in the nightlife of Munich.
One evening Mike and Werner land on a go-kart track where they meet several students. They quickly clash with the intellectuals, as Werner in particular quickly feels provoked. A girl named Alice who is present goes between the arguers and manages to calm things down.
Everyone agrees to have a nightly party at the quarry pond. Alice gets into the car with the two men, the others drive separately. Allegedly, the three of them take a shortcut, but then arrive at a lake where the students never arrive. Werner raped Alice there. The next morning there is a violent argument between the two men when Mike now also tries to rape the girl.
When Alice threatens the two of them to go to the police, Mike explains to her how she must explain and justify her behavior, how she must account to her father and describe the course of events in detail to both the police and the judge and how she would finally have to spread all these experiences again in court, during the trial. She then abandons her plan and even tells the police officers who arrive later that nothing has happened. Although they do not believe her, they have to leave without doing anything, and the two men get away with a warning of five D-Marks .
Production notes, DVD
Girls with violence , also under the even rougher and more provocative title Girls ... only known with violence , was made between May 15 and June 26, 1969 in Munich and the surrounding area and was premiered on February 19, 1970 in Munich.
At that time, director and producer Fritz was married to his female lead actress Helga Anders. This film was the last part of his so-called “girl” film trilogy in the late 1960s, in which Helga Anders always played the leading role in all three films. Previously, in 1966 Girls, Girls and in 1968 Bunnies in the Pit were created .
The costumes were designed by Barbara Grupp, who made her film debut here. Peter Genée was in charge of production.
Seven years later, Fritz met his two main actors, Löwitsch and Brauss, again when all three appeared together in front of the camera in the 1976 English-language war film Steiner - The Iron Cross .
In 2015 the film was checked again by the FSK and an uncut Blu-ray / DVD version, approved for ages 16 and over, was released under the cinema title Girls: With Violence .
Reviews
The following can be read in Films 1965-70 : "Cynical-brutal product of modern series production of sexual abuse and violence - we advise against it."
The lexicon of the international film says: “Two Munich rowdies in their thirties kidnap an inexperienced girl to bathe at night at a quarry pond. Their greed for amusement turns into a brutal exercise of power over the victim and against each other. A cynical teardrop with which Roger Fritz gets completely into the depths of commercial speculation. A controversial topic - violence against women, the connection between frustration and aggression - is gambled away without any instinct or feeling. "
TV fiction film said: "Disturbing chamber play under the open sky."
“Roger Fritz has it with the girls. He made his debut as a filmmaker with Mädchen Mädchen , now he took a girl by force . In the meantime he has learned something new. He gave his most recent work on canvas a solid framework, tries to motivate what his heroes and heroine are doing, psychologically, and no longer lets them hop carefree across hop-green meadows as they once did. He has learned to dose tension and deal with the music. (...) Nevertheless: where is he headed with the story of the two rude boys who do violence to a naive child (Helga Anders) in a remote gravel pit? Did he want to point out violence as one of the symptoms of our time? Why then on the basis of two so obviously broken men? To counter the violence, Roger Fritz did not have to go so far from the road. The pleasure with which he plays out brutal scenes makes one suspect that he was trying to vent his own aggressions. His beatings would do any spaghetti western credit. Klaus Löwitsch and Arthur Brauss show considerable format. Helga Anders shuffles through the gravel, quite perplexed. "
“ Girl: With violence tells of the beginning of a period of social upheaval. The film already stands with one foot in a new era, in which Werner and Mike have to live with the fact that they will soon no longer be able to score with their rough manner. With the other leg, however, he remains in a dark past in which, as a raped woman in a miniskirt, you think twice about whether you want to expose yourself to the humiliation of the police. "
“If you look for possible references to girls with violence in film history, then you will find them above all in the work of Roland Klick , whom Fritz, he says in the audio commentary, was well acquainted with during the time they shared in Munich and with whom he met regularly to discuss films. The gravel pit with the truck tires scattered around, the old conveyor system, the wrecked cars, the lake and the wooded slopes all around becomes a separate, self-contained world and at the same time a soul landscape of the characters, perhaps what Can in one of the Songs sung as Soul Desert . In Klick's debut Bübchen (1968) it is a junkyard that functions as an external representation of the inside and stands for the ruin of an entire milieu, the lower middle class in the FRG after the economic miracle. "
Award
