Bit these films resembled the Schulmädchen-Report films only in the fact that they were anthologies consisting of vignettes wrapped around a sexual theme. In the UK we had films like Au Pair Girls (1972), Commuter Husbands (1974) and The Love Box (1972) - and Italy with Tigers in Lipstick (1979). Even other countries got in on the action. The popularity of the Schulmädchen-Report films brought about a ton of copycats. But, if that's a beef worth ignoring these films, then that also excludes everything from Halloween to Porky's. All the films have been released on DVD /Blu-ray and vetted to ensure all actress are adults however, that doesn't negate that fact that the premise centers on supposed high school girls. The first few films feature girls who looked genuinely young - but midway through, they said 'fuck it' and the girls often look like they're in their thirties. The very idea that we're centering a sexploitation film around high-school girls is pretty damn verboten these days - but rest assured all the actresses are adults. Lastly, the subject matter itself is a bit problematic, and probably explains why these films haven't achieved a significant degree of cult status (even though they often contain cult elements such as exorcisms, satanic rituals, rape-revenge, etc.). This is generally a "serious" situation such as a courtroom case, a school board meeting deciding the fate of misbehaving teens, etc.
TIGERS IN LIPSTICK FULL MOVIE SERIES
The series of vignettes (usually 6 total) have a wraparound story which links them all.
It wouldn't be quite right to call them anthology films, as sometimes each story is just a few minutes long.
In that way, they are very similar to the early faux sex education films such as Mom and Dad (1947) and the "documentaries" on nudism which really just used the subject matter as a legal loophole to show naked ladies.Īnother defining characteristic of the Schulmädchen-Report films is that they are presented as a series of vignettes.
You know the films - those faux documentaries from Germany which pretended to be exposés on the sexual revolution among the youth however, we all know they were just excuses to provide tons of onscreen nudity. This is just a post to consolidate all our Schulmädchen-Report films covered on VZ1.
