MUTZENBACHER

Documentary Film, AT 2022, digital, 101 min, OmeU

Men sitting on a casting-couch follow the director’s instructions to recite excerpts from the controversial classic of erotic literature, “Josefine Mutzenbacher oder Die Geschichte einer Wienerischen Dirne.” In an ironic reversal of the power relations in narratives of sexuality and an ambivalent balancing act of obscene and delicate themes, MUTZENBACHER presents an uninhibitedly assembled show of speaking about male fantasies.
