could you tell us about a sensual/sexual scene you’ve seen in a movie/serie that especially catched your attention and why
BOB crawling on top of Laura in Fire Walk With Me. Why: duh.
The climax of Compliance. Why: duh.
Irreversible’s rape scene. Why: duh.
The home invasion in Strange Days. Why: duh, plus mindfuckery.
Pretty much all of Spring Breakers. Why: duh, and particularly Vanessa Hudgens.
Killer Joe’s multiple scenes of sexual violence and intimidation. Why: duh, and Juno Temple.
Pretty much all of Sucker Punch. Why: duh, and it’s easily Zack Snyder’s most watchable film. (A backhanded compliment indeed.)
1969’s Age of Consent. Why: it’s not super-sexy on it’s own, unless you’ve really fetishized age gaps, but Jesus H. Christ… a 24 year old Helen Mirren playing a frequently naked teenager who becomes fascinated with an old man on an island? Seriously, she is so fucking cute in this thing.
Sheryl Lee tied to the bed in John Carpenter’s Vampires.
Sherilyn Fenn fucking a monster in Meridian: Kiss of the Beast.
Also Sherilyn Fenn in Two Moon Junction, which is just generic softcore porn by today’s standards, but I watched it a lot when I was a teenager.
Also also, Sherilyn Fenn in Boxing Helena, which is still hotter as an elevator pitch than as an actual movie… but I’ve always loved how Jennifer Lynch’s mind works.
Everything that happens to Jennifer Jason Leigh in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. It’s all so painful and degrading, and yet completely routine and normal.
Emma Thompson’s princess discussing English words that sound scandalous in French, in Henry V. It’s adorably dirty, even if I don’t understand a word of it.
The LSD trip in Across the Universe. It’s only sort-of sexual, but as interstate drug binges that end in a bunch of good-looking kids piled on top of each other in the grass while they peer through the seams in reality and giggle, it’s at least sensual.
The bathing scene/credit sequence in Much Ado About Nothing. There’s just something ridiculous-yet-jubilant about an entire villa full of randy pseudo-Italians ripping off their clothes and jumping into the public baths en masse in slow-mo.
Everything happening with Isabella Rossellini and Kyle MacLachlan in Blue Velvet. Why: yet another duh.
