Stiller&#8217;s most acclaimed work was <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=22053\"><em>Gosta Berling&#8217;s Saga<\/em> (1924)<\/a>, but a few years earlier he released this social satire which was clearly groundbreaking for its day (it was an international hit), but now comes across as merely quaint. The &#8220;erotic&#8221; nature of the dalliances at play are primarily confined to the characters watching an extended portion of an opera in which their own dilemmas are carried out by individuals wearing decidedly less clothing. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Opera.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Opera.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"484\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-54090\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Opera.png 484w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Opera-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Opera-128x95.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Opera-363x270.png 363w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all quite forgettable, really &#8212; but hardcore film fanatics with an interest in early cinema might be curious to see an example of an early attempt at a narrative form (romantic comedy) that would come to fruition in later years. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> This film is one among 16 titles in Peary&#8217;s book which were released during the first two decades of the 20th century, between 1912 (<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=6894\"><em>Quo Vadis?<\/em><\/a>) and 1920. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A light-hearted screenplay, well-filmed for the era<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Still.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Still.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"484\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Still.png 484w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Still-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Still-128x95.png 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Still2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Still2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"484\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Still2.png 484w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Still2-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Erotikon-Still2-128x95.png 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, unless you&#8217;re an aficionado of Swedish cinema.
