‘From the article :
“Next week, fans of EL James’ erotic novel Fifty Shades Of Grey will be out in droves to see the film version starring Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson. Already media outlets have dubbed the movie, which opens Feb. 13, as the raunchiest film in more than a decade, one that includes 20 minutes of sex in its 100-minute running time.
Yet there are plenty of salaciously satisfying classic movies that pushed the boundaries long before Christian Grey burst onto the scene.”

Let’s not forget many others, such as “Don’t Look Now”, “Coming Home”, ” Out of Sight”…..
The reason so many recent films which are about sex or feature explicit sex are boring or “unsexy” is because they either lack the characterisation and story of mainstream films like the ones mentioned above, or else they wrap the protagonists in some kind of negative pathology: they must be dysfunctional in the way they express and experience their sexuality.
This is a phenomenon I’m particularly interested in changing.
