: Dear all,
: You might have noticed in the spring time-frame (as measured in the northern hemisphere) that a few posts noted our Gallant Antagonist's
: Golden Bear film award in Berlin. His latest movie, Intimacy, is now showing in the US. I missed those posts and so was a bit taken aback to hear about his movie, as the review I heard wasn't favourable. Still, it seems to be a good movie...for the right kind of person. I can imagines how the Germans and other European critics would love it...

Egads!!! Call me not-the-right-kind-of person (or, simply, Old Prude), but ...

I mean I LOVE Patrice Chereau ... but a 35 minute "unbroken" sex scene???? One of the reasons (one of the VERY many reasons) I love LOTM is its LACK of sex scenes. In its stead, we find tastefully (to my taste) done romance.

I guess I'm one of the rare people these days who doesn't enjoy sex on film. To me, it is almost always - maybe even plain ALWAYS - unnecessary. Often times, it's downright intrusion. To me, it amounts to little more than voyeurism.

Oh well, maybe it's just me, but I like it a lot better in the bedroom, behind closed doors! :)
