Sound Eroticism (original title: Egészséges erotika) is Hungarian comedy film from 1986. Although the title indicates a Sex Comedy, and indeed there's a lot of sex-related humor in it, that's not the primary focus of the movie. Instead it's mainly a satire of the bureaucratic system of Hungary in the late Soviet era.Falkay (Ádám Rajhona) is the manager of a crate factory that, apart from him, employs an all-female staff. The problem is, nobody wants to buy any crates from them. When the state sends the fire security officer Bozodi (Róbert Koltai) to install an alarm system, the solution comes in the form of modern technology: a hidden camera in the women's changing room. Each afternoon they invite potential customers, allowing them to ogle at the employees changing clothes in change for buying the crates. But the women, led by the sassy Hajdúné (Judit Németh), start to suspect something...The film is considered a Cult Classic in Hungary for its unique visual style that includes scenes filmed backwards, witty dialogue (in broken Hungarian), and for perfectly capturing the zeitgeist of the declining Socialist system.Has nothing to do with someone sounding erotic. | |

All Men Are Perverts | |
| Sound Eroticism / int_129749df | comment |
All Men Are Perverts: A major theme of the movie. All men in the movie take great pleasure in voyeurism and show downright creepy behavior towards women. | |

Chekhov's Gun: The fire extinguishers in which Bozodi smuggles the gasoline bite him and Falkay in the back hard in the film's climax, when the other men are trying to put out the fire. | |

Stylistic Suck | |
| Sound Eroticism / int_415b3315 | comment |
Stylistic Suck: The film is shot entirely in black-and-white, and many scenes are filmed backwards (i.e. the actors were walking backwards, which was then played in reverse so that it looks like they're walking forward), resulting in extremely awkward body movements and the occassional gravity-defying objects. Also, the dialogue is entirely in broken Hungarian, ignoring grammar rules like articles and conjugation, and mispronouncing certain words. | |

Domestic Abuse | |
| Sound Eroticism / int_590eb583 | comment |
Domestic Abuse: One of the factory's employees, Novákné, comes to work with a black eye, explaining to Falkay that her husband hit her when he found the sexuality poll. Falkay is more upset about Novákné not filling in the poll than about one of his employees being an abuse victim. | |

Nipple and Dimed: Some of the women go topless in the changing room, but it doesn't look particularly sexy for the viewer due to the poor image quality. However, in-universe, the men find it extremely titillating. | |

| Sound Eroticism / int_890d4ef2 | comment |
Humiliation Conga: Falkay and Bozodi go through a well-deserved one. The women trick them into following them to the changing room, where they tie them to the showers and call them out for what they've done. Then the men who come to their rescue accidentally set the factory ablaze, which burns to the ground. Falkay and Bozodi escape from the ashes in their underwear in front of all their employees. | |

Slut-Shaming: The President attempts to do this to break the protesting women's spirit. He says that by demanding financial compensation for getting their bodies shown off, they're selling their bodies like prostitutes. The women don't buy it, telling him that he had no issue with the men showing off the women's bodies without their knowledge. | |
