Le train du plaisir

3 reviews
5/10

Brainless Sex Film

The title contains a pun, because the "versaute Hochzeitsnacht" (spoiled wedding night) Alois Brummberger (Muxeneder) is experiencing also involves a piglet (sau=sow) which some pranksters smuggled into his wedding bed. His new wife is busy anyway having sex with one of the wedding guests in the barn.

This episode is merely a distraction from the main plot involving an inefficient railway line, run by Sepp (Steiner) and Willi (Kleiber). When this line is threatened with closure they come up with the ingenious (oh well) plan to purchase it and run it as a brothel on wheels.

The plot idea clearly has not been thought through, on several levels. First, Sepp & Willi had apparently no difficulties whatsoever persuading a group of local beauties who ran a girls-only-farm to turn hooker. Secondly, they keep the fact that the new railway line is a brothel as a secret from the authorities - while everyone else seems to know, since they are not short of customers. And all of this seems even comparatively plausible when we look at the conclusion of the film...

In other words, this is one of those sex films one can only appreciate with the brain shut down to 25% capacity. With that constraint the film's fine: the girls are pretty, the humour is lowly low brow, the acting is competent, and the general production values are good.

a Rabelaisian farce in the Bavarian Tyrol

A most enjoyable human, comic, tragicomic and sexually satisfying film which Rabelais would no doubt have enjoyed. All, except one sexual exploitation scene (young woman in train wearing a cow bell while being served by her particularly uncouth and domineering partner)is genuine hearty and happy pleasurable sex. Though the storyline is not Gargantuesque, its inventions based on the the refurbished train are both varied and entertaining. Its stereotyped antipathetic characters quite often lose their rigidness and become quite human, while the surprises it springs on the spectator are bountiful, diverse and quite sufficient to sustain one's attention until the final scene where a young woman, finally, succeeds in conquering her reluctant foreign lover. But for the aforementioned scene, this film breathes and instates good, healthy, sexy fun!!

Comment on Rabelais

I just wanted to comment on Rabelais' sequepedalian review of this movie. The girl wearing the cow bell is wearing it because she wants to. It is a scene which appears in another German sex comedy.

Other than that, his is a good review. It's a great movie of it's type. Just don't take it too seriously. No .... don't take it at ALL seriously. Just shut the brain off and enjoy what's coming off.
