Body Lust

Retrospective, FR 1979, 80 min., 35mm, dt. Fassung/in German

By: Monique Carrère (als/as Monique Carrera)

With: Natalie Bond, Ellen Gray, Lana Gibson

“Now I‘m gonna show the men how to make really good sex movies!” With this ambition, porn star Monique Carrera made the switch behind the camera to stage the porn film “Body Lust” herself – not as an alternative, feminist porn film, but a mainstream porn that differs only in nuances from the works of her male colleagues. “Of course, there’s also a lot of fucking in Carrera‘s film, in all variations. But even the small movements have a meaning,” writes feminist publicist Claudia Gehrke about this film: “The sweat stain on the back, the non-shaven vulva, the not perfectly manicured fingernails – of women‘s hands that can also grab properly – a red ear, green shoes on the desk. In general, the women seem to be closer to the “dirt” that comes with sexuality”. We, too, are excited and look forward to rediscovering the film, which is not available in digital form, together with you.
