Product Description
Director's cut of Tinto Brass's controversial and notorious erotic classic. Set in Berlin in 1939, as the Nazi dictatorship marches inexorably towards war, SS officer Helmut Wallenburg (Helmut Berger) is commanded to establish a brothel catering to the Nazi elite. Wallenburg diligently selects and trains 20 young Aryan women committed to the ideals of National Socialism and prepared to degrade themselves for their masters, setting the scene for an exercise in debauchery and corruption that parallels de Sade's 'One Hundred and Twenty Days of Sodom', and reflects the growing violence and depravity of the Nazi regime.

The first surprise is to see Ingrid Thulin (Return from the Ashes; Four Horseman of the Apocalypse) in such an erotic Nazi nightclub drama. There is much full frontal male nudity, racial propaganda ("Jesus Christ was blonde haired and blue eyed" the Nazi doctor proclaimed). The pig slaughtering sequence is not for the squeamish. Helmut Berger is perfectly cast as the (what appears to be) potentially bisexual central male character (judging by his love of extravagant Nazi uniforms). Women are selected for their political National Socialist purity and their potential to be whores and spies for the Party. They are tested in a scene of balletic choreography; with 20 women encountering 20 men of equal Aryan purity. The story itself? The Salon is ordered to close. A new venue is opened. The reason? Watch the film! If you are not offended by the Nazi stuff then this is an essay in simple decadence.

High production value Nazisploitation film from bootymeister Tinto Brass.If you've seen Caligula , even the trimmed version , you'll know what to expect from this tale of the S.S. recruiting nazi women to work in a brothel for soldiers where the bedrooms are bugged to find out what the soldiers really think about the war whilst enjoying general debauchery (though Caligula didn't have the electronic surveillance,just the nutters and the general debauchery).An excellent camp fun poke at the odious nazi S.S. hierarchy and the shocking banality of evil . On a lower brow note the brothel cabaret is great (think "Cabaret" with nudity) and the overall sleaze is fantastic;Tinto even works in a love/death/revenge story.Brilliant.

This dvd marks the films first completely uncut appearence on british video. The story is about a plan by the nazis to expose traitors by opening a brothel run by madame Kitty and then monitor what the troops are saying to the girls thanks to recording equipment hidden in the brothel rooms.This could have been an entertaining exploitation film but is let down by Tinto Brass'direction rivaling Jess Franco whith his obssesive use of the zoom lens(though Franco probbably would have made a better film)and the non acting of "actress" Teresa Ann Savoy.The films good points include a brilliant score from Bruno Nicholai excellent production design from Ken Adam and an over the top performance by Helmut Berger.
The dvd is the fully restored version of the film with over 18 minutes of new footage including a pointless scene of a pig being slaughterd wich has nothing to do with the plot but was probbably included for shock value.
The transfer is widescreen (1:78.1) anamorphic and the extras include an interveiw with Tinto Brass in english which is hard to understand but sadly there are no subtitles other extras include the trailer and trailers for other Argent films titles.

I really enjoyed this film, that is so much more than it's reputation for being controversial, if I had a critique it's that the picture quality isn't always great and subtitles on the director's interview would be helpful.

As I have Seen this film before This DVD version is is very good this is because first its UNCUT and for that reason alone it well worth the money. Also the picture quiltery is excerlent and the film it self is very good. For those who have seen it before will notice in this UNCUT version there are important sections of the film which has been added that has never been seen before legaly in this country. This film contains some of the STRONGEST full frontal NUDITY seans ever commited to a film so it not for those who dislike such sceans. Other than that I would recomend that any one who has seen it before by this DVD.

Even for Tinto Brass (who has never made a half decent film in his lif imho)this is very bad.
Forget the review about full fronatl nudity. There is nothing sexually strong or exciting here.
One or two scenes obviously designed to be 'a bit unusual' eg women having simulated sex with disabled men were all too brief. A pig of a film which includes the slaughter of a pig as a final insult.

If you like uniforms, girls and are right wing this is great voyeristic fun. Story is a little flat and you won't be buying it for the acting.

I was young and obviously more broadminded when I first saw this movie at the cinema in town.I can't recall being particularly perturbed about it on first viewing.Seeing it again,I realise how sordid an epic it actually is.It doesn't really make a meaningful statement about anything worth stating.It indulges in awfulness for awfulness's sake,as far as I can see.The acting borders on the camp[no pun intended] and the actors have very little to work with.Their job is to be mostly ugly and unlovely and they carry out this mission with a vengeance.The dregs of life can be portrayed meaningfully -Shakespeare can do it over and over.Simply to pander to the disgusting for the sake of revelling in it serves up no good for anyone.My copy was sent to the tip after just the one viewing.
