Poll Suggestion: The Indecent

Intro: For decades, cinema has flirted with the line between art and eroticism. From Emmanuelle (1974), The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and Shortbus (2006) to Sex-Positive (2024), filmmakers have explored desire without crossing into pornography. What once shocked audiences now reflects a cultural shift - a generation less bound by moral panic and more open to pleasure, freedom, and authenticity. Many things once condemned are now seen with humor or curiosity, even if not embraced. Which of these bold titles best captures that spirit? Please discuss it here. Suggestions: Feel free to suggest, but please note. No revenge-movies (r'n'r, like the 'I Spit ...'-movies), no movies about abuse or unproper violence. These movies are not fitting to the list. List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls4157049239/ List: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls4157049239/copy Poll: TBD

Maybe Pink Flamingos. There would be plenty of Walerian Borowczyk's films to include too. For example, The Beast or Immoral Tales.

Thank you for your interest, but these movies are clearly not what I intended. They deal with abuse, incest, transgressiveness, violence, oppression, doing with animals - all these practics have no longer acceptance today and that's good by me. I don't like it either. I know these movies are partly parodies and satire, but in a way which really doesn't fit for today. They simply don't fit for the row of the other movies. Same would be 'Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom'. It's just made for provoking from Pasolini, but has no real thing in it, someone would like to see today. The worst on that movie is some of the practises and the connotation of a sick regime.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire / Blue is the Warmest Color - would these satisfy your criteria?

Blue is the warmest color shows l-sax with great pleasure, it clearly stays for young woman who deny the old way avoiding h-saxualtiy. It's a production which shows that L-sax is fully ok. 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire' isn't on the list. Should I put it there? Tell me about, please.

Maybe The Conformist (1970)?

Thank you again for your interest. I wanted to avoid movies with raipe and/or revenge. This movie contains raipe. And I also wanted to keep out guilt, fascism and things like that. All that happens in that movie. It's more about free saxuality that harms no one. The saxuality in the film is marked by repression, shame, power, and conformity, not by freedom or desire. The protagonist seeks security in conformity and betrays both himself and others in the process. Sorry for the unwanted typos, but else I'll get privated for nothing. Sure it also shows free h-saxuality, but it's too negative, somehow. Do you have more positive picks?

I understand. I was thinking about the dance scene between Giula and Anna. But, it is true that overall the film is sombre.
