This was the first of the videos that started a trend of sex education videos in the early 1990s . I guess the idea behind it was for liberated women to go into a high street store and buy it without any type of guilt or inhibition , but no doubt the main buyer market was teenage boys and dirty old men
THE LOVERS GUIDE is groundbreaking in the fact that it publicised that the couples involved were real life partners but this is slightly dishonest , yes the main couple featured Wendy and her husband were indeed a real life couple who'd been married several years but there was some public controversy that at least one of the couples Kathryn ( The gorgeous brunette ) and Marino ( The well buffed geezer with a ponytail ) had never met one another until they appeared on set where they had unprotected sex for the camera . For a video that self righteously dedicates segments to safe sex it is rather hypocritical
Seeing as it's for education purposes and not pornography as such there's limits as to what can be shown but as a sex education video it's not uninformative though I doubt if you'll be gasping " I never knew that "
As a footnote the main couple featured became something of sexual problem agony aunts in the British press - Until it was revealed that Wendy's husband had a serious heart condition which put a stop to sex . I almost felt sorry for this couple who confessed that they used to make love as often as ten times a day but now couldn't make love once a day because it was too dangerous . My small amount of sympathy soon vanished when shortly afterwards the couple split up and raced off to the gutter press in order to dish the dirt on one another to the highest bidder .
会议桌前
世界在崩塌，人们在狂欢。清醒的人以各种玩笑的方式离去。
属于三十年代的“午夜柏林”，比“午夜巴黎”更混乱也更真实。
Fabian就像身边已经为数不多的颓丧的文艺中年，郁郁不得志，又放不下自尊，本质是善良的，但爱情还是败给了金钱。放到当今的时代里，这一切的始作俑者当然也可能不是他本人，而是历史。
4.5。开头半小时恍惚以为是在看法国电影，那种大胆有趣的剪辑十分出色。但越往后看越觉得悲凉，在理想覆灭后，我们怀着欣悦奔赴向死亡。
视觉风格强烈影音呈现出彩，加上Tom schilling本人自带的忧郁气质和影片基调相辅相成。最大的缺点就是太长，分为几天看完，明白导演对于这部电影在叙事和摄影上想追求一些特立独行的个人概念，纪录片的纪实性和文艺片的荒诞感杂糅，本来只想打三颗星，看完结尾加一颗。最后男女之间爱情相互纠缠与守望的撕裂也确实很动人。Ps：活着是无力的，唯有死亡可以力挽狂澜。
他幸运地没有经历日后的历史 而是沉于奔赴旧爱的路上 （看完《歌厅》后发现了相似之处 同属那个战争即将来临的魏玛）
“活着只是侥幸，死亡才是必然！”悲剧的时代，任何欢愉都是罪恶。
虽然但是，三个小时还是显得有点长了。看到最后的我，疲惫失落迷茫，憋闷得想要叹气。活着只是偶然，死亡才是必然。
晚上困得紧，看了两小时睡了一会才起来接着看完
她每天下午三点会来 不管是无主之作还是法比安 汤姆希林总给我意想不到但是又在意料之中的意外
4.5。开头半小时恍惚以为是在看法国电影，那种大胆有趣的剪辑十分出色。但越往后看越觉得悲凉，在理想覆灭后，我们怀着欣悦奔赴向死亡。
没有一声惨呼
枯燥的内容却如此吸引人
当某天突然出现了一束光，你欢呼、雀跃，你感到心安，可最后带来的只是更幽深的黑暗。
它是电影，它更是部魏玛时代的人类社会学的研究作品。180分钟每一帧都透着现实肉溅的血腥味儿，每一句台词都需深思片刻才能悟出答案，很深刻更意犹未尽（如“生活是我第二份工作）…临近片尾时莫名地感到忧虑和感伤，不知道为谁？还是为了什么？可能芸芸万物都相似吧…影片中有两处细节久久很难逃避，1、三处出现留声机播放音乐，瞬间把人带到另一个时空，或遐想或遮掩什么（音效处理得极为恰当好处）；2、则是妓女们抱起自杀好友的头用白手帕裹住其脖子，顿时有点想哭的感觉（尊重死者的尊严竟然出自妓女之手）…也许此片没有讲什么深刻道理，但它揭示的各色人等的日常是真实的，深刻的！
一切希望、挣扎、痛苦、美好之后是平静，继而循环。爱前半小时及后半小时。
任何动荡的年代都有怀才不遇的人 人生就是存在着很多的不确定 明天和意外哪个先来谁也不知道 我们现在这么小心的生活着又和那个动荡的年代有什么区别 稳定的工作带来了稳定的收入 而处处小心到处限制又怎么让我们去享受这收入呢？
十分现实主义的影片搭配了一个非常“荒诞”的结局，合理怀疑导演偷懒，但除此之外也很难想象有什么更适合的结局了，除非影片直接停在学校或回家，3个小时真的过长，后边那段其实多余
可哪怕这样，依然坚持这该死的自尊，伤痕累累。
