Mozart's Zauberflöte
Wolfgang_Rodenbach19 November 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Andrea Molnar visits the Mozart Museum in Salzburg, formerly his actual home (Mozart Wohnhaus) as we watch a montage of Mozart memorabilia and merchandising for sale in the surrounding tourists shops. So you might think this is going to be quite a sophisticated adult film, filmed on location, perhaps even including some historical accuracy? No such luck. The crude editing, cheap video and home-movie like opening credits that scroll from right to left on the bottom of the screen quickly dash our hopes. Anyway, Andrea just happens to find some personal letters from Wolfgang Amadeus and sits down to read (apparently the scriptwriters had been watching Immortal beloved instead of Amadeus). In writing, the great composer confesses his love for orgies to his dear friend Antoine, as we segue into the first costume drama flashback.

Amadeus (Christoph Clark) is teaching a young student to play the harpsichord, but she appears to be far more interested in giving a flute performance. I think it's Angelica Bella playing the pupil although it's hard to tell with the impressive costume and pasty makeup. The fact that nearly every performer in this film goes by a pseudonym (Angelica for instance, is Kitty Kay) makes it even more difficult to keep track of who's who. Actual Mozart music is heard continuously during the scenes of intercourse (how classy) and they go through several compositions before Christoph climaxes, imitating Tom Hulce's Amadeus laugh. Still, didn't the letter mention an orgy? Guess Andrea will have to keep on reading.

The second letter (or perhaps another page of the same one) has Mozart performing for, not to mention with, Angelica and her mother, who is played by Dagmar Lost (as Diana Siefert). Yves Baillat also joins in, though I failed to pick up what his relationship to the others was. Amazingly, they manage to keep the costumes from getting soiled. Next, his famous magic flute leads him to play another private concert he'll never forget (or so he wrote) and a long sequence involving two men and three women of all different sizes. Next to Dagmar, one is super skinny and the other incredibly fat. Well, at least there's some variation in the proceedings. Another first for Mozart and pals is that if they had taken the time to look out the window, they would have seen some cars driving past in the background.

For the finale, everyone gathers at an anniversary party to play a game of "Blind Cow". So they go off stumbling blindfolded and bumping each other all over the place (it's the same house where all the previous flashbacks have taken place, not the museum) and just when you thought every possible combination had been done, Andrea Molnar has gotten so excited from reading about this that she decides to use her special powers of telepathic time travel to join the party (in costume, of course). Who knew it could be that simple? I suppose that's where those cars in the background came from to, they were music lovers and swingers from the future.
