The very long title here already tells us that this is the fourth entry from the West German "Schulmädchen" film series and it was far from the last. This series is closely connected to the German sexual awakening in the 1970s and director Ernst Hofbauer worked on several of the others too. The runtime is between 80 and 90 minutes and this is the usual too. The worse about the film may be the opening monologue as we find out how this film takes itself so seriously, but it has absolutely no right to do so. The quality here is abysmal at times. You cannot really blame the actors and actresses as they are obviously no professionals, but using amateurs to make this look close to reality and authentic entirely backfired in this very case. This film is maybe a decent watch if you are really horny as the girls in here all look like models, which is also not realistic and you get to see full frontal at times, breasts almost always from every female character. It is once again a collection of smaller stories that have no real connection with one another, so you could also call it a collection of short films. The topics are really controversial for the 1970s (incest, rape, race) and that is probably why people were curious about it too. It certainly could not have been because of this being a cinematic achievement of any kind, because it is far far away from that level. Actually, there is absolutely nothing interesting in here except the clumsy takes at controversy. Highly not recommended and this series went far far longer than it should have.
