Das Lustschloss im Spessart

1978 · 84 min · ★ 4.3 · Comedy

Geiersberg Castle in Spessart is a popular hotel for married couples and lovers. The buxom landlady isn't averse to anything and even the quirky valet Beppo takes what he can get. It is also interesting to note that the last count and countess, who were summoned to their ancestors at a very young age, still haunt the halls. A special attraction for visitors is the nearby spa station of the shepherd Astloch, whose cures have a very invigorating effect on certain parts of the body. In the Spessart, people not only sing and rob, but also indulge in physical pleasures.

Herakles

Herakles · 1962

MovieDocumentary

Basically, 'Herakles' is an omnium-gatherum of film clips depicting images of machismo. Some of those images are explicitly macho: we see various body-builders flexing their biceps and triceps. Other images seen here are not macho in the literal sense, but are indirectly related to testosterone or cojones on some level: we see military aircraft making bombing raids, and footage of car crashes.
