Sensations

The film fails largely because of the acting and poor filming. The sex scenes are quite graphic but poorly edited. The film itself attempts to view an American girl's discovery of European sexual morals and has a quite interesting ending if you can take it seriously. It is saved only by the presence of Brigitte Maier who was one of the truly beautiful porn stars of the 1970s.

Forget "Deep Throat". Forget "Behind The Green Door". Forget "Debbie Does Dallas". Forget "The Devil In Miss Jones".

This is the singular film that changed the entire sociological and political dynamic of hardcore pornography into a legitimate historical and cultural object by which to forever measure and study a forgotten and sexually revolutionary epoch.

The year was 1975.

The spirit, along with all the freely undulating flesh, was contained within this startling speech: "Don't be so stupid. Don't believe what they tell you. Our teachers, the priests, the television, the newspapers. It's all a trick. So they can make atomic bombs. They are the 'authorities'. And they will always have the authority to be criminals".

I only saw this movie because I read excellent reports of it, and they were right. This movie is *very* artistic, and that is clear from the beginning where you realize it is first of all a "film production", not just a porno one.

The plot is very simple, it shows what happens in one girl's day, when she meet by accident a bunch of somehow lusty people, whom bring her to a new level of unashamed sex.

This movie was years ahead of his time. A controversial art gallery of atmospheric sex situations.

Why not a better qualification? It was because it could be too hardcore in some shoots. Insinuating things are better than show them raw, sometimes.

"Sensations" is one heck of an adult picture. It basically revolves around an American girl that seems disgusted with the sexual revolution of the early seventies. Nevertheless on her trip to Europe, she meets all kinds of sex- crazed people and is virtually sucked into the abyss of their desire. the final scene is rather strange... this is director Lasse Braun at his best!

This was the first hard-core film I've ever seen, and I found the content fairly shocking back in 1975. Those who are used to run-of the-mill mainstream porn films should beware: the mundane and the kinky are presented equally here, and the notorious Braun doesn't seem to care who is offended. Lasse Braun was not a director who was concerned with making cinematic art; he wanted sex to be dirty and raw onscreen. The film was a huge success at the Cannes Film Festival; that combined with Maier's popularity as a Penthouse Pet made it a curio here in NY. For the adventurous, give it a try. For everyone else: you have been warned.
