INTERCOURSE IN TELEVISION AND FILM

The Presentation of Explicit Sex Acts analyzes the aesthetic and narrative contexts for the visual media presentation of the sexual act, both those which are non-simulated and those which are explicit to that point that their simulation is brought into question by the viewer. In this book, questions involving the performance choices of actors, the framing and editing of the sex act, and the director',s attempts at integrating sexuality into the overall narrative structure as well as their effects are explored.
