　　1985西德剧情片《Die Praxis der Liebe》由Valie Export导演，Adelheid Arndt主演，影片讲述的是：
Judith an investigative journalist begins to unravel a murder mystery that implicates one of her current lovers When she checks out a peepshow business on the seedy side of Hamburg as part of the investigation she runs into a former boyfriend who used to be a psychiatrist but is now an arms dealer Judith is lured back in...[显示全部]to his fold cheating on her current lovers one of whom is also a shrink Despite her profession or perhaps because of it Judith tends to blend fantasy and reality so small wonder she is attracted to psychoanalysts But two shrinks and a murder prove more than Judith can handle
Valie Exports third feature is an antiromance in which the heroine oscillating between two relationships
gradually discovers that both are impossible not because the subjective processes of love are defective
but because the objective social matrix in which both her male lovers operate is corrupt immoral murderous
in this film the male world and its power structures cancel the possibility of love beyond the matter of sexuality
that is the objectification of love Export makes use of techniques drawn from her earlier experimental cinema
video and conceptual photography to expand the possibilities of narrative feature filmmaking and to disintegrate
some of its overdetermined conventions
Video control in subway stations and in street traffic tapes and cameras are very important
for the structure of the film Mediocrity hypocrisy and violence are the films main themes
Valie Export deals with them on private social and media levels adhering to the techniques
of video avantgarde
