Lovely article, and very much in line with what I've thinking lately. I ache for films with sex that make me dizzy, sex that hits me hard on a personal level. This is not to say that I don't enjoy some good, old-fashioned hot fucking in my movies once in a while, but if said hot fucking feels a little less... scripted... then how wonderful. Some recent films (e.g., Swimming Pool) have sucked the joy right out of sex, a perspective that is useful and certainly has its place, but I've seen SO many films like that lately. Time for new cinema with sex that makes me want to fall in love, fall in lust, get it on, or make me ache with how personally it hits me.

I agree strongly about Late Marriage and Stanwyck. Two other scenes that startled me similarly are in the recent P.S. and in Pedro Almodovar's Tie Me Up!...

'Don't Look Now' wasn't the best sex scene in movies, in my opion: there are quite a few French, Japanese and eastern european movies - probably moslty of the 60s and 70s if my memory serves - where everything was right: a balence of disclosure, audience arousal and context.
Remember the Japanese film - name anyone? - where he slides a boiled egg up her vagina? Sado-masochistic true, but not porn. This was a film about self-destructiveness and despair. The sex scene was emotionally and cinematographically effective: the filming was not jerky or tightly edited or with too many cuts. This is the fault of the Sutherland/Chrisitie scene.

I saw this film at the age of seven when it was first released, and it not only made me want to have sex, but also to make films. It's very hard to create ecstatic reality in cinema, esp. when it comes to sex performed by people who can actually act, and this is why, I believe, the best sex scenes in film, such as the blow-job sequence in In the Realm of the Senses, are brilliantly mounted artifices. You mispell Roeg's first name, by the way, which in the French manner is spelled: Nicolas. His other films, from 1970's Performance through 80's Bad Timing: a sensual obsession all feature great, intensely realised sex (or at least sensual) sequences.

I had the same thought as RR: My association with that phrase is with Animal House. Maybe this is why the author is married, and I am not?

Lethem's essay was fine, but for an assumption that defines the piece. What if his wife's friend Pauline was not referring to "Don't Look Back", but rather to the film "Animal House"?
