No area of human behavior received more attention in these films than that of sex. Topics ranging from tuberculosis and alcoholism to workplace accidents were repeatedly addressed as well, yet sex and its significance for both the individual and the nation remained the enlightenment film’s major theme. Some films conveyed a positive, if generally highly normative, message concerning the pleasures of sex. Most, however, adopted a darker tone, stressing the dangers not only to traditional values and individual well-being but also to the health and vitality of future generations. Between 1918, when censorship was abolished, and 1920, when it was reinstated, an estimated 150 films on sexual topics alone were made, including Richard Oswald’s Let There Be Light (1917), which dealt with venereal disease, and Oswald and Hirschfeld’s Different from the Others (1919). While this latter film became one of the most notorious films of the period, it was by no means alone in courting controversy. After 1920, many enlightenment films ran afoul of the censor. Yet the genre also counted notable successes. One acknowledged high point was the film False Shame (1925), directed by Rudolf Biebrach from a script by Curt Thomalla and Nicholas Kaufmann. False Shame explored the topic of venereal disease in a series of case studies, combining both instructional and fictional elements. As the Nazi film Das Erbe would later do, this film used close-ups of psychiatric patients as a form of evidence to document the terrible consequences of disease (in this case, syphilis and gonorrhea). False Shame played to great acclaim both in Germany and abroad, receiving much praise for its skillful mixture of scientific material and popular drama.
