I honestly don't have a clue what Polanski wants to say with this piece. I read that it's supposed to be a satire of the German 70's sex movies but to be honest it lacks some substance for a satire, neither does it work well criticizing society.
The only red line this movie follows is sex. In every aspect of it. Everyone is in some way obsessed with it and tries to gain it. At the same time there is hardly any plot, yet even logic in some scenes. If there really is a message, as the critics suggest, it's at least thoroughly hidden.
Knowing that Polanski put quite some effort into this film, I can't help but think that probably he saw something else in it. This time, unfortunately, I can't see it.
