Bizarre Variationen (1994)

The scene opens with a slim brunette in her 30s wearing a white blouse, standing in a dimly lit room with artwork on the wall. She’s looking up, mouth slightly open, like she’s already turned on. Then it cuts to a close-up of a hand pulling a candle from a decorative box on a dresser — slow, deliberate, nails painted dark, jewelry on the wrist. Another shot shows a man in his 20s or 30s with long dark wavy hair and a mustache, staring intensely into the camera under warm red lighting, face serious like he’s focused on what’s about to happen. Back to the woman — same top, now from behind as she leans over, and the guy, fully nude, enters her from behind in doggy. The camera lingers on her hands gripping the furniture, then her face in profile as she takes it deep. Lighting stays soft throughout, mostly natural or warm indoor tones, with clear shots of the act and no cuts during thrusting. The setup feels intimate, almost ritual-like because of the candle, but the sex itself is straightforward and physical.
