Insatiable Joséphine

The movie was originally released in Germany as “Josefine Mutzenbacher - Wie sie wirklich”, and is based on a classic piece of German erotica. It’s the story of the sexual awakening of Josefine Mutzenbacher, but in the English version, she is called Janine.

Janine is played by Patricia Rhomberg. This is the only movie she appeared in which was made available in English. The film is dubbed, but the quality of the dubbing is excellent, and you quickly forget that the actors are not the ones really talking. Miss Rhomberg doesn’t have classic porn star looks, her breasts are lovely but droop slightly, and she has a full bush, but she has a beautiful face with long brown hair, a youthful ass, and she seems to love having sex.

Patricia Rhomberg gives one of the great performances in porn history. If you like watching porn from the golden age, before breast implants, before shaved pussies, and before actresses signed contracts limiting how many sex scenes they would do, then you have to check out this movie.

This is one of the best adult films ever. you have a perfect combination: Billian as an experienced director (who sees himself as something more than a gynecologist with a camera), brilliant Rhomberg with self-confidence and enthusiasm, the year 1975 and -at least some- money. as mentioned in other comments, this movie looks quite real. which means you have male actors around their fourties, female actors with no shaving/silicon and scenes without prolonged and extreme closeups of moving (body)parts... but also the fun they have seems to look more real.

Sensational Janine is a high quality, plot-driven porn film; and it stands head and shoulders above the vast majority of the genre. 'High Quality' is not a term usually associated with adult films; but it can certainly be applied here as this film is extremely well made and that's one of the things that help it stand out so much. The plot line is very interesting also and the central character is very easy to get along with, which ensures that the film draws you in thanks to the interesting story and not just the sex. As the title suggests, we focus on a young girl named Janine (actually, Josefine) as she goes from being a sweet virgin to a sex hungry Madame. We follow her as she gets her first sexual awakening (watching her parents having sex and later getting it on with her step brother). From there she begins to get more and more curious; and luckily for her, she just so happens to live in a den of iniquity so finding men to practice with isn't difficult, and she's a very willing student...

The sex scenes in this film really are excellent and the fact that they are featured numerously is a big help to the overall success of the film. Most of the runtime is taken up with sex, but unlike some of the lesser genre examples; each individual sequence here is long enough to get the point across, but doesn't outstay its welcome. They're also very erotic! The lead role is taken by Patricia Rhomberg; and she is just as sensational as the character she's playing. She is perhaps not a natural beauty, but the buxom maiden is very sexy and manages to get both the curiosity and innocence of her character across as well. Another thing that sets this film apart from much of the rest of the genre is the fact that most of the main characters are 'normal' people rather than all-out porn stars, and that does make the film feel a lot more realistic. The film does have a very arty feel to it, but this shouldn't be enough to put anyone off as director Hans Billian ensures that the film is very accessible. Overall, Sensational Janine is an absolute classic of adult cinema and should not be missed by anyone. HIGHLY recommended!

Actually the movie is superb! in my point of view, and after reviewing hundreds of porn movie, i can say and without any reservation, that this movie is the best. the story of the movie as well as the script are very well done, the film is comic and is highly recommended for couples, it may even be shown in theaters since all the sex scenes are decent, there is no disgusting scenes like todays movies. the film is done with high proficiency and the selection of the actresses and actors was indeed perfect. The story is about a young lovely girl who discovers her sexuality and start having sex with men. she actually ends up having an affair with her step father (after the death of her mother in the hospital). Later on she became a hooker.

Dare I say it, but this is probably one of the best porn movies on the planet. OK, it's dubbed, but it's done well. There are plentiful scenes and it doesn't drag like a lot of modern movies. The story works well and builds and builds up so you had better invest in some Kleenex cos you won't make it through the first half hour without popping at least once.

The sets, costumes, lighting and locations are great and the girls are downright dirty and sexy. I wish modern directors would watch this to show how a good porno film should be done.

The themes are quite strong, which is what makes it good. It goes into adult carnal fantasies that are extreme, but never try and gross you out.

All in all the film has great humour and is sooooo sexy I doubt that there is anything of this quality on the market today.
