Dorotheas Rache

This socially critical farce, surprising in its content and form, deals with the commercialization of love in the contemporary world, incorporating the consequences of the sexual revolution and women's emancipation into its consumerist framework, using absurd and black humor. Just as we can see the progressing emptiness and focus on immediate satisfaction in the realm of sex and love – a casual orgasm through at least two secondary characters (Dorothea's father, the owner of a company with funny objects; her friend's father, a worker in this factory), we are confronted with the second level of emptiness – the emptiness of work and life focused on immediate satisfaction - profit. Above all, we will be following Dorothea on her odyssey with contemporary society, which is caused by a simple question: what is love? The film had problems with West German censorship at the time of its release (although Fleischmann intended the film to be anti-pornography, authorities still perceived it as pornography...).
