With Easter coming up,I started looking round for Germen Sex Comedy movies that I could give to a friend as an Easter gift,and I was surprised to stumble across a title which appeared to be based around the point of view of a bed!,which led to me getting ready to jump into bed.
The plot:
Left in the corner of an antiques shop,an old bed begins to fear that no one will come and buy him,due to him being a very old bed.Being in the mood to cement their relationship,a young couple start looking round for a "traditional" bed,and are delighted to find such a bed in the dusty corner of an antiques shop.Walking out of the shop with the bed in hand (!) the couple start to slowly make their way back home.Feeling worn out,the couple take a break outside a shop.Taking a look at the shop,the bed is amazed to discover that they have stopped right outside the shop where he was first brought,which leads to the bed beginning to think about his past owners
View on the film:
Opening with a delightfully bonkers narration from the bed itself (!) the screenplay by Michael Wildberger sadly misses almost all of the off-beat notes ,by taking a restrained approach to the talking bed,by using it as a link to anthology stories,which whilst rather fun,do miss the weirdness that Wildberger has the option to use.Displaying all of the naked flesh from his pretty leading ladies in a crisp,clean manner,director Ralf Gregan (who also cameos in the title) gives the movie a distinctive first person shots of the bed. Disappointingly,Gregan follows Wildberger tracks by pushing the delightfully unique elements of the film to the side lines,and instead focusing on the easy-going Sex Comedy stories,which leads to this being a bed that won't rock your world.
