Mutzenbacher
Watch TrailerAn audition for men aged between 16 and 99. There are no props nor make-up, just pure improvisation. All that is required is the willingness to engage openly with the topic and language of the words on the page. No small challenge, since the text in question is the scandalous novel published anonymously in 1906 “Josefine Mutzenbacher, or the Life Story of a Viennese Whore, as Told by Herself” which, as this film confirms, continues to be the subject of passionate and controversial discussions about desire, even today. What might be world-class pornographic literature for some is seen by others as an abusive depiction of child sexuality.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs the film as a series of raw auditions, building a space where the text acts as a catalyst for personal revelation. It explores the boundaries between literature, pornography, and art, relying on the vulnerability and discomfort of its non-professional performers.
What lingers after viewing is a profound unease about the nature of desire and performance. The film leaves you with more questions than answers about authenticity and exploitation. — MovieFinder Editorial
