This is the perfect reader’s guide to the field todayForshaw discuses ingenious attempts by filmmakers in the 1940s to circumvent censorship, through the demolition of taboos by arthouse movies of the 1950s and 1960s (notably Ingmar Bergman’s groundbreaking The Virgin Spring and The Silence) and the battles of rebel directors such as Otto Preminger, who controversially tried to tackle the sexual arena with an adult honesty

Beschreibung

Sex and Film is a frank, comprehensive analysis of the cinema's love affair with the erotic. Forshaw's lively study moves from the sexual abandon of the 1930s to filmmakers' circumvention of censorship, the demolition of taboos by arthouse directors and pornographic films, and an examination of how explicit imagery invaded modern mainstream cinema.
