This black-and-white film was created by the low-budget wonder Lothar Lambert, who manages to produce, write, direct, (and often shoot) his films with the least assistance possible. Here, eight short pieces tell stories exposing people's frailties and foolishness. In one scene, two middle-class housewives stand in front of a porno house chit-chatting, while one of their husbands sneaks into one of them. In another, one man is putting the pick-up moves on another after doing everything in his power to make sure that the object of his intentions shares his particular sexual tastes, no doubt very esoteric ones. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Lothar Lambert wrote, directed, produced, photographed, and edited this avant-garde film in the primitive "naive" genre, which stars, along with other local Belin talent, Beate Meitner as Ulrike "S." Bern Lubowski is Ulrike's ex-husband, a man who abuses her until she finally leaves him, and Christoph Wellemeyer plays her younger son whose mission in life is to torment his mother. In addition to mistreatment at the hands of men who are the closest to her, Ulrike suffers through three operations on one eye, and a temporary boyfriend who is a crashing bore. This combination of intolerables puts her on the edge of a nervous breakdown, yet when she seeks help from psychiatrists and doctors they also fail her, needing help themselves. Ulrike has sexual desires that are detailed in nude scenes, but she is the nightmare lady of the film's title, with real nightmares at night and the makings of nightmares during the day. All these elements combine in the end, to bring her story to its emotive conclusion. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

The Berlin film underground rises again in this movie written, directed, financed, edited, and shot by Lothar Lambert. One of the main stories is that of a couple looking for sexual adventure through ads in porn magazines and anyone they can pick up - and then the husband decides to become a filmmaker, sending up Lambert's own techniques in the process. The man's insistence on sex and violence leads to some tragic consequences as he is filming his wife and an African lover in an intimate scene. The in-house jokes on the world of filmmakers and the parody of filmmaking by making a film will be appreciated by film buffs, but might have the opposite effect on the unwashed majority. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

- Ulrike S., Stefan Menche, (more)
