Ekstase (Ecstasy) 1933 - Containing the famous nude scene with Hedy Lamarr


IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022867/
IMDB rating: 6,9


Director: Gustav Machaty
Main Cast: Hedy Lamarr, Aribert Mog, Zvonimir Rogoz, Leopold Kramer



"It is one of the notorious titles in all cinema history, but - sigh - it looks rather quaint today. In the mid-1930s, Ecstasy was a great conversation piece, for its scandalous acknowledgment of sexual passion in women and its revelation of the naked form of actress Hedy Kiesler, who would become the Hollywood star Hedy Lamarr. Czech director Gustav Machatý constructs the movie as an almost wordless shadow play of symbols and signs, mostly sexual (there are many close-ups of heavy-breathing horses and nude statues, cut together for maximum erotic impact). As precious as some of these things seem now, it's still amazing to consider Machatý's nerve in depicting one of the first orgasms to hit the movies. And then there's Hedy, whose expressive eyes matter more than her brief skinny-dip. She's an unmistakable future star.
Called 'the most whispered about picture in the world' at its release, Ecstasy shocked moviegoers with its erotic depiction of sex, particularly scenes of a young Lamarr swimming naked and its images of this unknown beauty at the height of passion. The European film propelled Lamarr into Hollywood stardom and became an internationally-known classic hailed for its sophisticated approach to sexuality, maintaining a special place in movie history."
