Der Sex trinkt Champagner (1971) watch online HD

This is the touching story of a provincial French girl (Sandra Julien) who, after an accidental fall down an elevator shaft, discovers that she is (gasp!)a nymphomaniac. She loses her fiancé, gets fired from her job, is kicked out of the house by her parents, and has to leave her small town for big, bad Paris where she falls under the spell of an older predatory pair of libertines (Janine Reynaud and Michael Lemoine).

It's hard to know what to make of this movie. With the crappy English dubbing it seems a lot like those ridiculous 16 mm. black-and-white Harry Novak-type sexploitation movies they were making in America in the 1960's and 1970's. However, visually the film is very well-made and it features sumptuous European actresses like Jean Rollin's regular Julien and Jess Franco regular Reynaud (rather than the pimply anonymous Times Square skanks that were in the American sexploitation movies of the era). Perhaps it is a more serious and classy production than the atrocious English soundtrack would leave you to believe.

In any case, I don't think this movie was exactly meant to be a serious exploration of nymphomania so much as an excuse for a lot of nudity and softcore sex by the aforementioned Julien and Reynaud. Nothing wrong with that though. The girls in these type of movies have always been male fantasy figures, but these ridiculous pre-feminist European fantasy figures of days gone by are definitely more interesting than the equally ridiculous but much more jaded, post-feminist fantasy figures of today. I'd like to see this in French with English subtitles, but it's worth watching regardless.

I found "I am a Nymphomaniac" surprisingly quite good in it's issue, and is definitely not a comedy as tagged in some reviews

A young girl becomes addicted to sex after an accident. Carole, played by actress Sandra Julien, hates what she's become, but is compelled to have sex with anyone that will comply. Her work soon takes her to France where things start escalating out of control. After a suicide attempt she is helped by a priest and her doctor, and is diagnosed as having psychological problems and that her illness is curable.

Although the movie featured soft-core gratuitous sex scenes,(soft-core by todays standards) attention is bought to a rare illness that isn't always recognised as an illness. Some decent acting from Sandra Julien (some of the other characters seemed a little wooden) and an interesting storyline, i enjoyed this movie quite a lot and gave Nymphomaniac 7 out of ten.

The whole film a beautiful, magical and charming heroine of Sandra Julien (by origin - Italian Sandra Kalaputti) young and inexperienced girl Carol unsuccessfully struggling with his inner sexuality, experimenting in every way with its manifestations, which is in contradiction with the so-called moral norms of society, which is actually thoroughly false, hypocritical, lustful and false. Pushing his heroine with his individual representatives, the filmmaker causes the audience sympathy, participation and pity in relation to the confused girl and resentment, disgust and contempt for the people who shamelessly use naivety and inexperience of Karol to meet their vile needs, did not care about her feelings. Fortunately for the girl, she stumbles with a man who saw in her not only the body, but managed to see her deep soul, which gave her a real and sincere Love. Sandra Julien's beautiful game and original, vital theme make this film outstanding and unforgettable.

Score 9 out of 10
