Auftauchen

The title supposedly tells us that this is about breaking the surface ... but it doesn't really feel that way (to me). Our main character rather seems to dive further down, rather than coming to any surface. Not to mention the multiple penetrations that occur ... or maybe that is what the title suggests? But it is also the main actress that keeps us on our toes (standing erect you say - that would be your pun to use).

A lot of nudity but no vivid display of the intercourse ... well no explicit, let's put it that way. Now you may care about that one way or the other. But Sex also has consequences ... why the characters are drawn to each other? Logic does not always play a big role in relationships ... it can be animalistic too ... it can be the smell of the other person, which would be hard to convey on film anyway. The drama works to a degree .. but the slow pace and the fact it seems a bit aimless overall may feel like a drag to others.
