There, she meets Dominique, a Hungarian from Uruguay, Susie Sexpert, and Ramona, who she sees stripping in a lesbian bar and with whom she instantly falls in love. When Dorothee wakes up next to Ramona the next morning, euphoric, Ramona demands money for her \u00bbservices\u00ab. Dorothee takes it with her typical good sense of humour.<br \/>\nMonika Treut\u2019s film language is cool, direct and erotic, and she also weaves autobiographical elements into the narrative. Stylistically, the black-and-white film with its unusual shots and many close-ups closely resembles the cinematography of the 1920s and 30s. In wonderful, precisely composed images, Elfi Mikesch\u2019s camera work and Renate Merck\u2019s editing manage to create a film language that opposes the gaze approach of heteronormative conventions while at the same time honouring the visual innovations of silent cinema.<br \/>\nWith the title of the film, inspired by the German title, <em>Die Junggesellenmaschine<\/em>, for Marcel Duchamp\u2019s 1913 Dada work <em>The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors<\/em>, Treut seems to introduce another level: She positions herself against the libidinous incapacity of men taken aim at by Duchamp and contrasts it with an overabundance of lesbian erotic desire. With <strong>Virgin Machine<\/strong>, Treut became a pioneer of the New Queer Cinema movement.<br \/>\n<strong>Virgin Machine<\/strong> is part of the Salzgeber film series <strong>Lesbian Classics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":26136,"template":"","movie_year":[706],"movie_genre":[80],"movie_cat":[722],"festival":[687],"class_list":["post-26142","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-1987-1988","movie_genre-feature-film-en","movie_cat-specials-2023-en","festival-2023-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Virgin Machine - Internationales Frauen Film Fest<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/die-jungfrauenmaschine\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Virgin Machine - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In this lesbian cinema classic, Dorothee M\u00fcller leaves her bourgeois life in Hamburg behind and moves out to San Francisco\u2019s [...]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/die-jungfrauenmaschine\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IFFF.Dortmund.Koeln\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-03-29T16:02:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/FAV_IFFF2023_Jungfrauenmaschine_16-9_website_02_c_Salzgeber-1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1080\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"608\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@frauenfilmfest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/die-jungfrauenmaschine\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/die-jungfrauenmaschine\\\/\",\"name\":\"Virgin Machine - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/die-jungfrauenmaschine\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/die-jungfrauenmaschine\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/03\\\/FAV_IFFF2023_Jungfrauenmaschine_16-9_website_02_c_Salzgeber-1.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-03-23T13:55:35+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-03-29T16:02:11+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/die-jungfrauenmaschine\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/die-jungfrauenmaschine\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/die-jungfrauenmaschine\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/03\\\/FAV_IFFF2023_Jungfrauenmaschine_16-9_website_02_c_Salzgeber-1.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/03\\\/FAV_IFFF2023_Jungfrauenmaschine_16-9_website_02_c_Salzgeber-1.jpg\",\"width\":1080,\"height\":608,\"caption\":\"Two naked women.
