Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Erotikon Synopsis
EROTIKON surely pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable on the screen in 1920: Irene, the bored wife of a distracted entomologist, pursues a womanizing aviator, but she may actually be in love with Preben, her husband's best friend. Meanwhile, her husband seems to be getting unusually close with his own niece. Stiller obviously delights in teasing his audience with each scandalous plot twist and every salacious leer, and the result is a deliciously subversive comedy that was very much ahead of its time.
Madame de Thebes Synopsis
King of the gypsies daughter Ayla give birth to a child with a man who does not belong to the tribe. She is cursed by his father and is expelled. A countess adopts the child.
"Erotikon" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Madame de Thebes" offers its own unique cult appeal.
