I was very impressed by this film. I saw it around 2000, on French television (when this was still possible !!), and 20 years later I looked for it everywhere without success until the day when finally, an amateur posted it on YT, in excellent quality. It is a very cold film, which tells of the hell experienced by professionals in the world of prostitution in Berlin, in a brothel. Acting is impressive, coldness and slow violence.. The colors of the film are striking, the story progresses slowly to reveal the wounds of the women. For me it is an undeniable masterpiece. This film deserves a dvd release.
Plot summary
A treatise on love and desire tainted by harsh reality of capitalism, in which submission to the laws of lust-as-commerce is played out by five prostitutes and their pimp, who pits them against one another so that they are incapable of standing up to him collectively.
