Friendship of Men
In this docudrama Rosa von Praunheim looks into Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s sexual orientation, especially into his erotic experiences during his travels in Italy. Contrary to the common belief, von Praunheim argues that Goethe was not a heartbreaker and conqueror after all. It was only in Italy, that he had diverse sexual experiences, not least with men. Von Praunheim bases his assumption on letters written by Goethe to his friend Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi about these sexual encounters. Some of the content of these letters is re-encated in the film. At the same time, historians and linguists analyse and classify the letters into their historical context.

Reviews
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
