 The best erotic movies in history

After the recent premiere of 'Bliss', nothing better than remembering the exquisite eroticism of Jacques Rivette's film

Filmmakers all over the world, for as long as they have existed, have tried to find new forms and new cinematic expressions when it comes to telling stories to get the more public attention (or attention or controversy), the better. And what is it that leaves no one indifferent and draws the attention of any mortal? Exactly: sex. And the best erotic movies in history are full of sex.

One thing is for sure: sex sells. Sex is an inexhaustible engine, whether it's for gender posts or anything else on our minds. Sex moves the world. But can sex elevate cinematic art? We are going to remember some films where sex and eroticism try to play in favor of the work or, in the worst case, to be one more protagonist.

The bravest dare to cross the fine line between art and pornography. What for some is pure art can be seen by others as vulgar and gratuitous obscenity included only to attract attention. Be that as it may, let's go with some of our favorite erotic movies.

Nine and a half weeks

The original 'Fifty Shades of Grey', the one that marked our parents. Yes, I know. Just thinking about it makes your stomach turn. "Adored" by the Razzies, it was a box office bust before being re-released as the uncut version. The film was pure chemistry between its protagonists, something that has been lost in this (sub)genre over the years. Dirty descent into desire and baser instincts that remains parodiable nearly forty years later. I would have something.

Gaspar Noé "gets the balls out" once again, although this time (almost) in the literal sense (because Noé comes out and balls come out), in a tragedy with a lot of mythological component (the girl's name is Electra and the boy with a sentimental life quite complex is called Murphy, and not precisely because of 'Robocop') and the usual egocentrism.

The 3D works perfectly, in fact, the best three-dimensional effect that my glasses have seen is here: as simple as an overhead shot of a couple smoking, don't think badly. The audacity of this sexual therapy to forget the bullshit that Michael Winterbottom perpetrated a few years ago is in the use of John Carpenter's music. what guys.

The beautiful liar

After the recent premiere of 'Bliss', nothing better than remembering the exquisite eroticism of Jacques Rivette's film, which makes the simple fact of painting a painting fascinating. The destinies of the characters become almost insignificant due to the problems derived from the improvisations of the actors, something that matters little in the face of such beauty. Another type of creative process.
