Die Liebesvögel – Küss mich da, wo ich es mag

Retrospective, DE 1979, 81 min., dt. OV

By: Jürgen Enz

Dull bank manager Peter has a problem: during sex he cannot orgasm. So he goes to the big city on a quest to learn how to fuck. Possibilities are manyfold, but Peter seems to be looking for something different. So DIE LIEBESVÖGEL – the lovebirds – evolves from a weird sex comedy with some of the most eccentric animal metaphors you will ever hear into an even weirder, petty bourgeois romance. Jürgen Enz is one of the most idiosyncratic auteurs of German soft sex cinema.
