"Das Bad auf der Tenne" is a very sexual opened film from Nazi-Germany, but it was there really problematic, because of its freedom and fun. I think this is a form of, so I don't know a better word and so I will call it Preporn - for us today, it looks very crazy.

The film is coloured and the pictures are really nice and beautiful. Also the actors are pretty good. The UfA-Star Heli Finkenzeller an her husband Will Dohm are really believable and funny. But also Richard Häussler is a good actor , with an diabolic taste, like Ferdinand Marian in "Münchhausen".

But the story about a woman who wants to bath and the hole village is staring at her is so silly!!! You have to think the hole time that this film is a joke, if you don't think so, you will become mad.

So, I give it a 6/10.

This film shows in the tradition of DEFA-Fairytale-films how greedy people become the more they have. It discribes the life of the people in a very pure and simple way, which makes the film very lovely and credible. This is not a film for very young children, but it is good for older ones to get a discussion with their parents after the film. And the effects are for this time really nice.

For me, this is Peter Weirs best work! I was very impressed by making such a sinister mood without happening anything - there's only this rock. I can't wait 'till going to Australia and see this rock in reality! The actors are very good and believable, too, I give this movie a 10/10.
