Contemporary Erotic Cinema by Douglas Keesey

Movies have constantly pushed at the boundaries of sexual representation, outraging censors, transgressing taboos and opening up formerly forbidden realms of sensual pleasure. Whether through fantasy or dark desire, films have challenged who we are as sexual beings. In the first book to look at contemporary erotic cinema, this publication gives in depth analysis of sexual scenes from over 100 films, looking at changes in depiction with particular emphasis on censorship controversies.
Douglas Keesey is a professor of film and literature at California Polytechnic State University. His published books include Neo-Noir: Contemporary Film Noir from Chinatown to The Dark Knight (Kamera Books) as well as Catherine Breillat, Don DeLillo, Erotic Cinema, Peter Greenaway, and Paul Verhoeven.
