Die Sexfalle

Eva works as a decoy. Her job is to test husbands for their fidelity. Her good friend Corinna gives her a particularly well-paid assignment. She is to seduce Stefan, the husband of the very wealthy Christiane Reedmann, and lure him into a trap. A short time later, Christiane is killed and all the evidence points to Eva as the murderer. Now Eva herself is caught in the trap.

Directed by Michael Keusch, Die Sexfalle leans on a strong ensemble — Jennifer Nitsch, Jochen Horst, Ina Weisse — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1997.
