''Ecstasy'' (aka ''Extase'', aka ''Ekstase'') is a 1933 Austro-Czech co-production directed by Gustav Machaty.
Eva is a young bride from a wealthy family who marries Emil, a significantly older businessman. On the wedding night, Eva makes a sexual advance towards her husband, only to be rebuffed. It seems that Emil either is uninterested in or incapable of sex with his gorgeous wife. Eventually Eva has enough of Emil's neglect and leaves him, going back to her father's estate. She divorces her husband, and then meets Adam, a vigorous young engineer who can give her the pleasure that Emil couldn't.

!!Tropes:
* EroticFilm: A young woman leaves her husband when he can't please her, and finds sexual fulfillment with a younger man.
* GlassesPull: Emil when he realizes that Eva has left him. And Emil again later, when he finds out that Eva is bonking handsome young Adam.
* GoneSwimmingClothesStolen: Eva wants to get laid and Eva's horse wants to get laid. Eva's mare trots away after hearing a stallion nearby. This is a problem for Eva, as she was swimming naked in the lake, and her clothes were on the horse.
* TheLoinsSleepTonight: Seems to be the real reason why Emil does not try anything with Eva. The very first shot of the movie has Emil fumbling helplessly to insert a key into a lock.
* MeetCute: An erotic version thereof, as Eva first meets Adam when she is in the woods naked, trying to retrieve her clothes from her horse. And Adam has found the horse. Eva at first hides behind the bushes, but then decides that's dumb and stands up and demands her clothes.
* NakedPeopleTrappedOutside: Eva has a little adventure when her horse trots away from the lake, taking Eva's clothes with it.
* RomanticRain: For someone else, but more like GrayRainOfDepression for Eva. Eva's loneliness is only emphasized when she looks out the window of her husband's fancy apartment and sees a man and woman kissing in the rain.
* SilenceIsGolden: It isn't quite a silent film, but it could have been. There is very little dialogue and no extended conversations. The movie runs a full 15 minutes and tells the whole story of Eva and Emil's failed marriage before we hear one word spoken.
* {{Skinnydipping}}: The {{Fanservice}} starts in earnest when Eva goes swimming in the nude.
* SuperOCD: Emil has some issues, given how he has to have the items on his bathroom counter arranged in ''precisely'' the right way.
* TrophyWife: Apparently Eva is this to her much older husband. Emil has little interest in her, apparently, other than as a status symbol.
* ZipMeUp: Part of Eva's failed attempts at seduction on her wedding night night involves getting Emil to take her necklace off.
