Fans of the genre will be pleased as they are presented the usual German sex-romp ingredients: men sitting in trees (for whatever reason), uncomfortable sexual positions, a ton of nudity, sped up slapstick gags and the omnipresent Italian immigrant (not played by Rinaldo Talamonti this time).
However, it's apparent that director Hubert Frank was an in ambitious mood because he eagerly attempts to push this cinematic experience to a higher level. His camera angles and framing are slightly atypical yet always intentional, with a fine eye for composition. Many shots contain loads of deep space and depth, sometimes achieved by the use of mirrors, which vastly increases the production value. Director Frank even lets actress Ulrike Butz break the 4th wall by deliberately having her stare and talk right into the camera for a split second.
Sophomoric symbolism can be found throughout in tower bells, fire hoses and a shot of simulated fellatio followed by a man blowing a trumpet. More clever and amusing is a scene where Senta (Butz) is eating a banana with a brown ripe spot on it, which is mirrored by her boyfriend burning his erection on a candle.
The sex scenes also tend to go a bit further than usual with plenty of full frontal male nudity and a rather explicit masturbation scene only topped by a giant close-up of Ulrike's 'muschi'.
If you haven't figured it out by now: "Muschimaus mag's grad heraus" is without a doubt one of the better efforts to come out of the 'Aufklärungsfilme' sub-genre era.
