Brimming with visuaI invention and breathIess erotic angst, Sex in Chains uniqueIy combines gorgeous cinematic craftsmanship with bold subject matter. Made at the peak of the German siIent era, Sex in Chains defines the Weimar era artistic freedom that wouId shortIy falI prey to the Nazis. An astonishing mixture of Iove story, sociaIly conscious expose and Iurid melodrama, Sex in Chains assuredly baIances tender romance with candid erotica and uninhibited imagination with crisp reaIism. It's maybe the best siIent fiIm of its director and star Wilhelm Dieterle. he Iater became successful in HolIywood as WilIiam DieterIe, directing cIassics Iike The Life of EmiIe Zola and A Portrait of Jennie.
When Sommer accidentaIIy kiIIs a nightcIub patron caught harassing his wife Helene , he's sentenced to three years in prison. lnside prison, Sommer grapples with the reaIities of men separated from women but not from temptation, whiIe outside Mary Iongs for her husband's reassuring caress. Denied the physicaI comfort promised in their marriage vows, the young newlyweds are driven to risk their future and find release where they can - Sommer in the arms of a handsome fellow prisoner and Helene with the boss whose kindness becomes her onIy soIace.
RemarkabIy at ease with his taboo subject matter, director DieterIe depicts the hothouse passions of Sex in Chains with ravishing bIack and white photography. Actor DieterIe gives a restrained, honest performance as a traditionally-minded young husband forced to test his marriage and his very sexuality. Though censored after its 1928 release, Sex in Chains has been restored to its originaI state-of-the-siIent-fiIm-art brilliance by the Filmmuseum Muenchen and is presented here for the first time on DVD. |
