Exerpts from the German site: "Das Manifest..."
What appears to to look like a cheap soft-sex-film, turns into a real discovery under the cunning hands of newcomer Stephan Brenninkmeijer. Not only does he avoid all the clichés that usually comes with a theme like this, he also succeeds in giving you the feeling that most other films about this topic lack... erotic tingles.
Instead of plunging into a lot of fumbling in the dark, Brenninkmeijer builds an atmosphere, he gives us a chance to care for the characters and he doesn't shy away from cutting these tensions short, just to build them up again. As happens so frequently in real life.
"Swingers" didn't do to well in the Dutch cinema's but turned out to be a front runner in the video and DVD stores.
Hopefully sales in Germany also boosts for this little gem, so Epix can treat us more often with such a pearl.
