this be a real curiosity from the vault and a late 60 swedish sex education film which become an enormous box office hit across europe and even and when it be finally release uncut with an x certificate and in the uk in 1973 ( it be initially refuse a certificate ) while this be historically interesting and a the language of love ( a it be title in english speaking market ) feature some section of actual hardcore footage and with close ups of finger masturbate vagina and a penis penetrate one . the film be apparently mean a a serious attempt to allay people fear and misconception about sex and improve the sex life of heterosexual couple and but undoubtedly the enormous box office success of the film be due to the prurient interest of the public . it be hard to image people actually sit in a cinema and watch the film . the bulk of the footage have four sexperts ( sex therapists plus a gynaecologist ) sit around in a living room and swill gallon of tea and coffee and talk earnestly about sex . i do not know about the time of the film release and but these day the sexperts chat be unintentionally hilarious and a the foursome be humourless and po face and rather brusque in their talk ( as well a be an extremely plain verge on ugly bunch ) . inter cut with this mirth produce talk be mockumentary scene ( purport to illustrate the finding of famous sex researcher master and johnson ) in which couple talk about and do the sex thing . here the film fall even far into risibility and a although these couple be mean to represent ( or actually be ) real people and they be so one dimensional and robotic and mono subject orientate that they seem like no one anyone have even meet in this world and rather be dead ringer for the inhabitant of some future brave new world type dystopia . the most striking moment come when the most focused upon couple and who have previously experience sexual problem and talk to each other after a bout of now satisfy sex and tell each other that they be now real two less real people you will have trouble find in the history of the cinema . the last third of the film be mostly take up by the gynaecologist go about his business and inserting diaphragm and coil and cap into various young woman or advise them to go onto the pill . this be follow by a completely unnecessary montage of shot show a red light district and page from lurid pornographic magazine and couple walk around lewdly all supposedly to illustrate what wrong with society prurient attitude to sex but edit and score in such a way a to encourage an adolescent and voyeuristic attitude . the film be poorly shot and go on for too long and yet it get extra star for it camp value today . there also a saccharine and quite repulsive score by benny and bjorn pre abba . this be and btw and the film which travis bickle take betsy to see in taxi driver while the fact that she be offend instead of sit there laugh her head off show how unsuitable a date she be . the language of love be little more now than a historical document and and a testament to how self delude the expert in pseudo science can get a they pretend to serious encouragement of a healthy loving sex life whilst add to the creation of a culture of voyeurism and conformity .
