KlappentextSex and Film is a frank, comprehensive analysis of the cinema's love affair with the erotic.

Zusammenfassung
Barry Forshaw is one of the UK's leading high-profile experts on film and fiction, writing on the subjects for various newspapers and books and recording BBC TV and radio programmes, along with broadcasts throughout the world

The book anatomises in intelligent but accessible fashion the massive commercial (and artistic) appeal of the erotic, both film and original sources (with such movies as Nymphomaniac , "Blue is the Warmest Colour , and EL James' "50 Shades of Grey ). This is the perfect reader's guide to the field today

Forshaw discuses ingenious attempts by filmmakers in the 1940s to circumvent censorship, through the demolition of taboos by arthouse movies of the 1950s and 1960s (notably Ingmar Bergman's groundbreaking The Virgin Spring and The Silence) and the battles of rebel directors such as Otto Preminger, who controversially tried to tackle the sexual arena with an adult honesty

Kritik
'Forshaw gets under the skin of a topic. His writing is accessible and informed, dripping with detail, drawing on often surprising, striking and illuminating comparisons.' Dr Steven Peacock, Reader in Film and Television Aesthetics

'Barry Forshaw brings his knowledge, intelligence and, above all else, passion to each of his books that expertly offer fresh insights.' Stephen Jones, award-winning editor

'Forshaw is bang on about the films you already know but (even more importantly) makes you eager to track down and watch the lesser-known gems you haven't seen.' Anne Billson, film critic

'Forshaw offers fresh perceptions and quirky insights drawn from his considerable cultural range.' Ramsey Campbell, writer, film critic and editor

'Barry Forshaw's studies marry erudition with a film fan's obvious relish.' Stephen Volk, screenwriter and novelist

'Forshaw discovers many neglected pictures. His books are for pleasure and instruction, and then to keep on the reference shelf.' Philip French, The Observer

'Formidably well-researched and erudite.' Daily Mail

'The real value of this concise and comprehensive history of sex and censorship is the author's astute psychological assessment of the personalities in front of and behind the camera, as well as those who have attempted to impose their sense of morality on the movies.' Good Book Guidemehr
