I JOMFRUENS TEGN
Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Frihed!. Freedom of customs, against the
conservative society. Wonderful! And as the legends wants, for once no
mistake, Who can bring everything and put in in cinema? The Nordics!
Nobody invents anything, that's for sure, the sexy, erotic and porn
movie, were createad long time ago, but a mix of all for the a popular
audience and with a skillfull cast, is something, that can be made only
by the nation that first in the World has removed the veto, in 1969
(the date at random?),to the explicit sex scenes in movies. Denmark.
Armed with a long tradition began in mid-sixties of erotic/sexy movies
the Danish "explode" in the seventies thanks to two series,
"Sengekanten film" and "Stjernetegns film." Translated respectively as
"movies of bedside and "Zodiac Film". A very innovation, an open minded
thing, that if contextualized in that era, shows with its frivolity, a
certain historical importance.
If the first series we see, except for some flash, only soft-core, in
the second case it raises the bar by creating six films with hard-core
scenes and a host of more or less censored versions.
The main feature of "Stjernetegnsfilm" is an incredible and fascinating
mix of zany humor and eros, which often ends, in the most illuminating
episode, in "slapstick" comedy and in a swirl of colors and "easy
listening" music. Not everyone managed to do, as we shall see, but
let's start our roundup with the founder of the series "The Jomfruens
Tegn" of 1973 also known as "Danish Pastries," "In The Sign Of The
Virgin" and "Blue Porno College".
Directed by Finn Karlsson is the film that broke through the door to the success of the whole serie.
The story of this first episode dedicated to the sign of the "Virgin"
is set in Petite-Bois, a village where there is a brothel, but also a
women's college, whose students go around with just a kind of purple
tunic and willingly to escape brothel where they enjoy themselves.
Meanwhile Prof.Bomwitz created an aphrodisiac to be tested. Prof.
Armand instead is sent to Petite-Bois with a powerful sedative to avoid
an astral situation take away inhibitions to college students.
With the most classic and trivial incident they will exchange the two
potions. The result is easily imaginable. The College will head the
aphrodisiac and calming comes to the brothel.
The most striking thing of all, as mentioned in the opening, is the
cast composed of well-known Danish actors to their homeland,
appreciated as theater and cinema TV. Sign, we could analyze, for a
certain open-mindedness.
The main character, present in all six films, and even in "Sengekanten
film" is Ole Søltoft, famous at the time and a true icon of
erotic danish comedies. At his side as an antagonist or shoulder there
is Bent Walburg, film and television actor and jazz musician,
accompanied from time to time in the series by his wife at time Anne
Bie Warburg known for porn movies. But the most important figures is
Sigrid Horne-Rasmussen, a famous and popular actress of Danish theater.
We don't forget a great soundtrack mix of easy-listening and pop. Perfect accompaniment to these hot (mis)adventures.
