1
00:00:21,226 --> 00:00:24,089
Most films were
run by men.

2
00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:28,690
Most classic sayings
were run by men.

3
00:00:29,675 --> 00:00:34,165
But 13 decades ago, in all six
continents where films are made,

4
00:00:34,266 --> 00:00:37,304
thousands of women too
have directed films.

5
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,550
Some of the best.

6
00:00:43,404 --> 00:00:45,150
What films did they make?

7
00:00:45,390 --> 00:00:47,729
What techniques did they use?

8
00:00:49,121 --> 00:00:52,110
What can we learn
about cinema with them?

9
00:00:52,506 --> 00:00:57,415
Let's revisit the films through
from the eyes of the directors.

10
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,529
Let's make a new one
road movie through the cinema.

11
00:01:06,060 --> 00:01:08,489
WOMEN MAKE CINEMA

12
00:01:08,590 --> 00:01:12,960
A NEW ROAD MOVIE
THROUGH THE CINEMA.

13
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,567
How did cinema film bodies?

14
00:01:22,033 --> 00:01:27,499
CHAPTER 18 - BODIES

15
00:01:31,025 --> 00:01:33,691
The image of a body
It's not that cinematic

16
00:01:33,792 --> 00:01:37,492
as a close-up or a cut.

17
00:01:38,126 --> 00:01:42,261
Sculpture and painting generally
They focus on bodies too.

18
00:01:42,362 --> 00:01:44,596
But since the days of silent cinema,

19
00:01:44,697 --> 00:01:47,563
Bodies fascinate filmmakers.

20
00:01:49,767 --> 00:01:52,385
Charlie Chaplin's body movement,

21
00:01:52,486 --> 00:01:54,627
Garbo's stillness,

22
00:01:54,728 --> 00:01:57,561
the curvature of Marilyn Monroe,

23
00:01:58,086 --> 00:02:00,220
John Wayne's walk.

24
00:02:07,299 --> 00:02:10,852
One sings, the other doesn't,
film by Agnes Varda,

25
00:02:10,953 --> 00:02:16,053
It's perfect for us to start
analyzing bodies in films.

26
00:02:16,615 --> 00:02:20,585
One of the two main characters,
Pomme, you're in Iran.

27
00:02:20,686 --> 00:02:23,152
She observes the covered women.

28
00:02:23,253 --> 00:02:28,352
Varda films them from behind.
Almost no skin is visible.

29
00:02:28,453 --> 00:02:31,185
The veiled bodies make Pomme think...

30
00:02:31,286 --> 00:02:34,689
I feel strange about my body
since I arrived.

31
00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:36,452
Because of Darius, of course,

32
00:02:36,553 --> 00:02:39,953
and being far from everything,
you feel different.

33
00:02:40,334 --> 00:02:43,767
Among veiled women, I feel
more naked than nakedness itself.

34
00:02:43,868 --> 00:02:45,852
I feel close to my body.

35
00:02:45,953 --> 00:02:50,820
The more the skin is hidden,
the more she thinks about her skin.

36
00:02:53,286 --> 00:02:55,720
Absence draws attention.

37
00:02:58,918 --> 00:03:01,651
You received a scholarship
and still you don't want to go...

38
00:03:01,752 --> 00:03:07,286
Yasmin Ahmad's Malaysian short
seems to play with Varda's idea.

39
00:03:07,886 --> 00:03:10,462
A young man argues with his mother.

40
00:03:10,563 --> 00:03:13,130
A visually compressed frame.

41
00:03:13,343 --> 00:03:15,619
Suddenly, a call comes out of the picture.

42
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,486
Hello!

43
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:20,700
I'm not done talking yet.

44
00:03:21,633 --> 00:03:22,866
And a store.

45
00:03:22,967 --> 00:03:24,500
What do you want?

46
00:03:27,467 --> 00:03:29,566
She laughs at the ridiculous hat

47
00:03:29,667 --> 00:03:32,100
or because he is half naked?

48
00:03:34,467 --> 00:03:36,167
How can I help you?

49
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,666
Do you have size A batteries?

50
00:03:38,767 --> 00:03:40,067
Yes...

51
00:03:44,667 --> 00:03:46,466
Why does he give her this?

52
00:03:46,567 --> 00:03:48,133
To mock her?

53
00:03:49,233 --> 00:03:51,066
She's so covered.

54
00:03:51,167 --> 00:03:53,632
He's so uncovered.

55
00:03:53,733 --> 00:03:56,699
He's relaxed,
and even challenging,

56
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,749
in relation to her nudity.

57
00:03:58,884 --> 00:04:02,800
Malaysian culture shock,
gender clash,

58
00:04:02,911 --> 00:04:04,878
clash of clothing.

59
00:04:08,671 --> 00:04:12,083
I only have 15 without... It's not enough.

60
00:04:12,184 --> 00:04:15,383
Why this little talk?
with the malaysian girl?

61
00:04:15,484 --> 00:04:17,184
I'm coming!

62
00:04:20,185 --> 00:04:23,583
The boy had the luxury
to be able to take off the t-shirt,

63
00:04:23,684 --> 00:04:26,718
the confidence to take it off.

64
00:04:30,916 --> 00:04:35,350
Laure, the girl from Tomboy
who pretends to be a boy,

65
00:04:35,451 --> 00:04:37,683
want to take yours.

66
00:04:37,784 --> 00:04:41,450
She wants freedom
that boys have it and girls don't.

67
00:04:41,551 --> 00:04:45,551
She doesn't want to be forced
to cover up, to be feminine.

68
00:04:51,204 --> 00:04:53,037
And then she takes it off.

69
00:04:53,604 --> 00:04:58,450
We are close to Laure
and everything else is blurry.

70
00:04:58,551 --> 00:05:00,784
Suddenly a spit.

71
00:05:01,132 --> 00:05:03,732
More boy stuff than that is impossible.

72
00:05:25,947 --> 00:05:29,276
Religion is the main thing
paradigm in Malay film.

73
00:05:29,377 --> 00:05:32,544
Gender is the issue in Tomboy.

74
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,113
Andrea Arnold shows us
a similar situation,

75
00:05:38,214 --> 00:05:41,780
but this time the class
is in the foreground.

76
00:05:52,647 --> 00:05:54,779
A working-class kitchen.

77
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,247
Mia, 15 years old, wants to be a dancer.

78
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,713
She sees sexualized bodies
in some glamorous, American,

79
00:06:03,814 --> 00:06:06,247
dark and sunny place.

80
00:06:11,214 --> 00:06:14,947
Andrea Arnold films her from below.

81
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,113
On TV, there is a yacht,
an inaccessible lifestyle,

82
00:06:20,214 --> 00:06:21,413
but suddenly...

83
00:06:21,514 --> 00:06:25,414
Don't worry about me, carry on,
I was enjoying it.

84
00:06:25,780 --> 00:06:29,680
Under the sunlight, there is a body
same as the video.

85
00:06:33,580 --> 00:06:35,979
-Are you making eggs?
-No.

86
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,613
She now looks at the bodies on TV

87
00:06:38,714 --> 00:06:40,914
or to that of the boy who just entered?

88
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:43,047
I'm making tea.

89
00:06:43,947 --> 00:06:45,414
All good.

90
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,580
It's as if we were in the Malaysian store.

91
00:06:49,547 --> 00:06:52,513
Her physical life will be like on TV

92
00:06:52,614 --> 00:06:54,747
or just making some tea?

93
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,010
-It was a compliment.
-What do you understand about this?

94
00:07:00,111 --> 00:07:02,344
Young and working class,

95
00:07:02,445 --> 00:07:06,178
her body is the best thing Mia has.

96
00:07:12,011 --> 00:07:14,977
Varda, Ahmad, Sciamma and Arnold

97
00:07:15,078 --> 00:07:18,885
are questioning whether the bodies
are disruptive or not.

98
00:07:18,986 --> 00:07:24,119
Nakedness comes before religion,
gender and class?

99
00:07:35,545 --> 00:07:40,377
The notable Iranian film
by Marva Nabili, from 1977,

100
00:07:40,478 --> 00:07:43,444
The Sealed Soil, again.

101
00:07:43,545 --> 00:07:46,177
We are in pre-Revolution Iran.

102
00:07:46,278 --> 00:07:49,944
In cities, women
they still wore miniskirts

103
00:07:50,045 --> 00:07:53,310
and cinemas showed sexualized films.

104
00:07:53,411 --> 00:07:56,978
But here in the country,
things are traditional.

105
00:07:58,878 --> 00:08:03,145
Our main character
mow and feel the rain.

106
00:08:10,731 --> 00:08:12,795
And then, she takes off the veil.

107
00:08:13,278 --> 00:08:17,445
We stood strictly behind her, immobile.

108
00:08:17,778 --> 00:08:19,878
It's like a Manet painting.

109
00:08:39,411 --> 00:08:41,244
Now your hair is down.

110
00:08:41,345 --> 00:08:45,411
She feels the rain, the wind...

111
00:08:53,378 --> 00:08:56,711
Your clothes stop being a prison.

112
00:09:04,104 --> 00:09:07,444
And then it happens. She is half naked.

113
00:09:07,545 --> 00:09:11,478
And hug yourself, due to the cold
or something else?

114
00:09:21,511 --> 00:09:24,478
She got half naked
out of the house ever?

115
00:09:26,209 --> 00:09:29,844
We read the movements
on your back, on your head.

116
00:09:29,945 --> 00:09:35,045
This was, with this simplicity,
the best moment of your life?

117
00:09:42,678 --> 00:09:45,444
Your village later
call an exorcist

118
00:09:45,545 --> 00:09:50,278
to free her from whatever, whatever
Whatever it was, it made her act like this.

119
00:09:55,855 --> 00:09:58,510
Marva Nabili's beautiful film

120
00:09:58,611 --> 00:10:01,845
never aired in Iran.

121
00:10:06,511 --> 00:10:08,277
Imprisoned bodies,

122
00:10:08,378 --> 00:10:10,552
forbidden bodies

123
00:10:10,653 --> 00:10:12,286
and then we have this...

124
00:10:12,537 --> 00:10:16,810
Decisive Night,
by Pirjo Honkasalo, again.

125
00:10:17,178 --> 00:10:19,977
Two guys broke in
an oil refinery

126
00:10:20,078 --> 00:10:22,110
and swam there.

127
00:10:22,211 --> 00:10:25,577
They are drying out now,
watching the sunset.

128
00:10:25,678 --> 00:10:29,878
The contrasting, organic, agile bodies.

129
00:10:31,307 --> 00:10:35,274
One of them hangs,
which emphasizes agility.

130
00:10:37,445 --> 00:10:38,944
What do we see?

131
00:10:39,045 --> 00:10:43,678
Iron structures
like in a painting by Fernand Leger.

132
00:10:45,889 --> 00:10:49,851
In Finland, what stops them
to take off your clothes?

133
00:10:49,952 --> 00:10:51,485
Almost nothing.

134
00:10:57,296 --> 00:10:59,962
What does this scene symbolize?

135
00:11:02,324 --> 00:11:04,058
Almost nothing.

136
00:11:15,450 --> 00:11:18,343
Therefore, when the oppressors
religious people are eliminated,

137
00:11:18,444 --> 00:11:21,243
gender conventions are suppressed

138
00:11:21,344 --> 00:11:24,005
and inhibitions cast aside,

139
00:11:24,119 --> 00:11:27,886
and before we go for sex
in the next chapter,

140
00:11:27,987 --> 00:11:30,054
Where does this take us?

141
00:11:39,415 --> 00:11:43,314
In Good Work,
Claire Denis sometimes suggests

142
00:11:43,415 --> 00:11:46,181
that bodies are pure materiality.

143
00:11:46,282 --> 00:11:49,681
A body is something with which
you might collide,

144
00:11:49,782 --> 00:11:53,948
like a wall you hit
and that interrupts your inertia.

145
00:11:54,648 --> 00:11:59,381
There is something more to this scene,
beyond the hugs thrown,

146
00:11:59,482 --> 00:12:02,214
the clash of skin on skin

147
00:12:02,315 --> 00:12:05,564
makes it seem like they are trapped in a noose,

148
00:12:05,729 --> 00:12:10,929
discovering and forgetting
that bodies are just things.

149
00:12:11,515 --> 00:12:15,515
Is that really it?
A wave against a rock?

150
00:12:31,282 --> 00:12:34,414
Leni Riefenstahl saw something Aryan

151
00:12:34,515 --> 00:12:38,447
and even Nazi
these athletes in a sauna,

152
00:12:38,548 --> 00:12:41,847
but your camera can barely lie.

153
00:12:41,948 --> 00:12:45,814
The pleasure of touching each other's arms is palpable

154
00:12:45,915 --> 00:12:48,181
and sore muscles.

155
00:12:48,282 --> 00:12:49,515
The heat...

156
00:12:51,048 --> 00:12:52,582
The stretching...

157
00:12:58,148 --> 00:13:00,782
The feeling of water running...

158
00:13:11,748 --> 00:13:16,882
It is comparable to this scene
very different from Mustang.

159
00:13:17,415 --> 00:13:19,481
The girls are suffering.

160
00:13:19,582 --> 00:13:22,148
Their bodies fill the screen.

161
00:13:22,482 --> 00:13:25,037
The comfort of touch.

162
00:13:25,273 --> 00:13:28,173
The soft brush of the arm.

163
00:13:28,919 --> 00:13:31,486
The comfort of another human being.

164
00:13:32,715 --> 00:13:35,015
The picture is complete.

165
00:13:38,048 --> 00:13:40,282
They took care of him.

166
00:13:46,948 --> 00:13:48,647
Covering, revealing,

167
00:13:48,748 --> 00:13:53,614
religious and gender taboos
and the consolations of touch.

168
00:13:53,715 --> 00:13:57,747
Above all that,
great directors filmed bodies

169
00:13:57,848 --> 00:14:01,315
in remarkable cinematic ways.

170
00:14:03,248 --> 00:14:05,748
Let's focus on hands.

171
00:14:06,815 --> 00:14:12,247
Check out this scene from Maya Deren
in Ritual in Transfigured Time,

172
00:14:12,348 --> 00:14:16,014
A group of people
and then the image freezes.

173
00:14:16,115 --> 00:14:19,315
What do we notice? Their hands.

174
00:14:19,648 --> 00:14:21,614
Six hands.

175
00:14:21,715 --> 00:14:23,648
Unveiling...

176
00:14:29,432 --> 00:14:31,332
And return to your hands.

177
00:14:39,482 --> 00:14:43,314
Then another scene that seems
emphasize hand movement

178
00:14:43,415 --> 00:14:45,482
and then another freeze.

179
00:14:53,682 --> 00:14:55,548
Then his hand,

180
00:14:58,582 --> 00:14:59,914
hers...

181
00:15:00,015 --> 00:15:01,848
Extended.

182
00:15:05,182 --> 00:15:07,815
Then, this hand waving.

183
00:15:10,315 --> 00:15:12,548
A hand that alerts.

184
00:15:13,282 --> 00:15:14,981
There are no closed plans,

185
00:15:15,082 --> 00:15:18,214
just hands like a flock of seagulls,

186
00:15:18,315 --> 00:15:19,681
like a traffic light,

187
00:15:19,782 --> 00:15:23,982
a page in one of the notebooks
of Leonardo's drawing.

188
00:15:29,648 --> 00:15:32,447
We're in slow motion, of course,

189
00:15:32,548 --> 00:15:36,515
and silent, which sharpens our eyes.

190
00:15:44,982 --> 00:15:48,114
From dancing hands to healing hands

191
00:15:48,215 --> 00:15:52,114
and one of the best films
made on bodies,

192
00:15:52,215 --> 00:15:57,081
that of the Iranian poet and director
Forough Farrokzhad...

193
00:15:57,182 --> 00:15:59,515
The House is Dark.

194
00:16:00,515 --> 00:16:05,382
We are in what in 1963 was called
of a leper colony."

195
00:16:05,926 --> 00:16:08,712
Below this woman's hands.

196
00:16:08,813 --> 00:16:12,347
Then this lovely hand massage.

197
00:16:14,148 --> 00:16:15,247
Ps.

198
00:16:15,348 --> 00:16:17,182
More manipulation.

199
00:16:17,515 --> 00:16:19,648
Each shot, a sketch.

200
00:16:29,982 --> 00:16:32,415
Forough now watches feet.

201
00:16:40,615 --> 00:16:45,215
Its cut is so rhythmic, so elaborate.

202
00:16:49,505 --> 00:16:50,580
That's it.

203
00:16:50,681 --> 00:16:53,480
-Painful.
-Very painful.

204
00:16:53,581 --> 00:16:58,615
Dancing hands, hands that heal
and then hands that work.

205
00:17:00,139 --> 00:17:03,593
The award-winning Chinese film

206
00:17:03,694 --> 00:17:07,556
23 year old Liu Jiayin: Oxhide.

207
00:17:08,215 --> 00:17:09,714
His father's voice.

208
00:17:09,815 --> 00:17:11,680
It doesn't matter, the cow is always slaughtered.

209
00:17:11,781 --> 00:17:13,497
He works with leather.

210
00:17:13,598 --> 00:17:15,932
Make bags.

211
00:17:16,781 --> 00:17:20,147
Hands doing
what hands do: Touch.

212
00:17:20,248 --> 00:17:22,314
Caressing the ox's hide.

213
00:17:22,415 --> 00:17:27,115
A family of workers
and, literally, manual labor.

214
00:17:29,948 --> 00:17:32,547
But it's as if we were
looking at a stage.

215
00:17:32,648 --> 00:17:33,981
There is no cutting.

216
00:17:36,181 --> 00:17:41,048
Hands enter, wander
and then they leave the scene.

217
00:17:43,548 --> 00:17:46,080
The painting enlarges them.

218
00:17:46,181 --> 00:17:48,664
And celebrate them.

219
00:17:49,235 --> 00:17:51,265
Selling them cheap makes me feel sorry for the cow.

220
00:17:55,448 --> 00:17:56,715
He forgets.

221
00:18:01,181 --> 00:18:03,247
In Visages, Villages,

222
00:18:03,348 --> 00:18:08,615
street artist JR celebrates
the feet of Agnes Varda.

223
00:18:09,681 --> 00:18:13,780
He traps them through the paper
to visually isolate them.

224
00:18:13,881 --> 00:18:15,347
He's in charge.

225
00:18:15,448 --> 00:18:17,547
And then she tells us...

226
00:18:17,648 --> 00:18:20,248
It looks like a wrinkled heart,

227
00:18:20,815 --> 00:18:24,447
just like the photo of the potatoes I made,
young and old.

228
00:18:24,548 --> 00:18:26,914
Have seen at your feet a heart

229
00:18:27,015 --> 00:18:29,347
and an old photograph he had taken.

230
00:18:29,448 --> 00:18:32,180
They use technology
simplest possible

231
00:18:32,281 --> 00:18:35,314
and make your feet
become larger than life...

232
00:18:35,415 --> 00:18:36,580
Very pretty.

233
00:18:36,681 --> 00:18:38,547
Who had the idea?

234
00:18:38,648 --> 00:18:41,381
How cinema is larger than life.

235
00:18:42,148 --> 00:18:46,635
They look pretty small, it's true.

236
00:18:46,736 --> 00:18:49,403
But everything is fine.

237
00:18:56,948 --> 00:19:00,181
Leaving the focus on hands and feet,

238
00:19:00,282 --> 00:19:03,815
and individual bodies,

239
00:19:03,916 --> 00:19:09,249
we have collective bodies
moving in unison.

240
00:19:09,582 --> 00:19:12,882
Two radical examples
opposites of that...

241
00:19:13,949 --> 00:19:18,816
Leni Riefenstahl starts this
sequence with some women.

242
00:19:21,516 --> 00:19:24,282
And then there is a merger with several others.

243
00:19:24,649 --> 00:19:27,781
She likes the pattern, the formation.

244
00:19:27,882 --> 00:19:31,648
Of conformity. And she doesn't stop there.

245
00:19:31,749 --> 00:19:37,581
Another fusion, more open image
and standardized. And then one more.

246
00:19:37,682 --> 00:19:42,749
Individuality and psychology
they no longer exist.

247
00:19:43,082 --> 00:19:45,581
We see only mass submission,

248
00:19:45,682 --> 00:19:49,015
a radical lack of interiority.

249
00:19:49,116 --> 00:19:53,282
The body as the solid part
of the construction of the State.

250
00:19:58,082 --> 00:20:01,481
Wanda Jakubowska does it in The Last Step

251
00:20:01,582 --> 00:20:06,882
something visually similar,
but a world away.

252
00:20:07,616 --> 00:20:10,681
We start at the feet and then
we go up to the heads.

253
00:20:10,782 --> 00:20:13,615
Suffering and numbered uniforms

254
00:20:13,716 --> 00:20:17,216
We are told we are in Auschwitz.

255
00:20:17,649 --> 00:20:19,682
Women rock.

256
00:20:20,249 --> 00:20:27,116
As we heard before,
Jakubowska was imprisoned in Auschwitz

257
00:20:28,316 --> 00:20:32,515
and now, a year later
liberation from the field of death,

258
00:20:32,616 --> 00:20:35,749
makes this surprising film.

259
00:20:39,154 --> 00:20:41,981
Your camera rotates up
and to the right,

260
00:20:42,082 --> 00:20:46,548
and women become
a sea of ​​heads, of waves.

261
00:20:46,649 --> 00:20:49,615
They move in solidarity,

262
00:20:49,716 --> 00:20:53,716
in joint pain, in lament.

263
00:20:54,349 --> 00:20:59,649
The opposite of official dance
by Riefenstahl.

264
00:21:05,216 --> 00:21:08,381
The women of Auschwitz
formed a powerful image,

265
00:21:08,482 --> 00:21:10,915
but they were not symbols.

266
00:21:11,016 --> 00:21:15,816
Bodies in films tend to
be explicitly so.

267
00:21:16,782 --> 00:21:20,048
The great director of the silent era, Lois Weber,

268
00:21:20,149 --> 00:21:22,181
appears for the second time
in our history.

269
00:21:22,282 --> 00:21:24,348
Bourgeois lovers.

270
00:21:24,449 --> 00:21:28,615
The woman dressed in virginal white,
he knelt beside.

271
00:21:28,716 --> 00:21:33,181
Then a religious man arrives bringing
a ghostly naked woman.

272
00:21:33,282 --> 00:21:34,848
She holds up a mirror.

273
00:21:34,949 --> 00:21:38,416
Their image is blurred,
but not hers.

274
00:21:38,749 --> 00:21:40,748
And she sees in her mirror

275
00:21:40,849 --> 00:21:44,549
the truth behind the bourgeois surface.

276
00:21:45,049 --> 00:21:48,049
He is intimate with other women.

277
00:21:49,716 --> 00:21:51,149
Smoke,

278
00:21:57,282 --> 00:22:00,116
drinks, gambles and fights.

279
00:22:02,149 --> 00:22:06,082
The mirror shows
these glimpses of truth.

280
00:22:09,103 --> 00:22:13,015
Her naked body symbolizes the truth, naked.

281
00:22:13,116 --> 00:22:14,815
Nothing to hide.

282
00:22:14,916 --> 00:22:18,650
Shameless. Even pure.

283
00:22:20,641 --> 00:22:25,115
A bold reversal of ideas
more prudish about nudity.

284
00:22:27,935 --> 00:22:33,048
Eight decades later, the body
started to mean something else.

285
00:22:33,149 --> 00:22:37,081
The Mary Harron film based
in the book by Brett Easton Ellis,

286
00:22:37,182 --> 00:22:38,714
American Psycho,

287
00:22:38,815 --> 00:22:42,914
shows a body in the era
of hyper-capitalism.

288
00:22:43,015 --> 00:22:47,048
After taking off the ice mask,
a lotion to clean the pores.

289
00:22:47,149 --> 00:22:51,115
In the shower, I use water-activated shampoo...

290
00:22:52,982 --> 00:22:55,648
Then, body exfoliation
with almonds and honey.

291
00:22:55,749 --> 00:22:58,948
And on the face, exfoliating gel.

292
00:22:59,049 --> 00:23:01,048
It's commodification.

293
00:23:01,149 --> 00:23:03,048
He wants to look young,

294
00:23:03,149 --> 00:23:07,282
powerful, sexual,
like the bodies in the advertisements.

295
00:23:08,673 --> 00:23:12,339
Then I apply a mint mask
Urdu and leave it for 10 minutes

296
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,839
while I prepare the rest
of my routine.

297
00:23:14,940 --> 00:23:19,272
If in Weber's silent film,
a naked body shows the truth,

298
00:23:19,373 --> 00:23:22,072
here, he hides the truth...

299
00:23:22,173 --> 00:23:27,452
Of your alienation, anger,
emptiness and despair.

300
00:23:27,553 --> 00:23:33,253
Then, anti-wrinkle balm
for the eyes and a final moisturizer.

301
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,472
It's a mask, an armor.

302
00:23:37,573 --> 00:23:41,372
So planned, so devoid
of individuality

303
00:23:41,473 --> 00:23:44,473
and as arrogant as your apartment.

304
00:23:45,340 --> 00:23:47,605
And although I can hide my cold gaze

305
00:23:47,706 --> 00:23:50,772
and you can shake my hand,
feel the flesh gripping yours

306
00:23:50,873 --> 00:23:55,173
and until you find that our styles
they are similar.

307
00:23:55,873 --> 00:23:59,373
I'm just not there.

308
00:24:03,906 --> 00:24:07,362
The woman's body in Germany, Pale Mother

309
00:24:07,463 --> 00:24:09,572
It's more symbolic.

310
00:24:09,673 --> 00:24:12,806
We are still in the shadow
of the Second World War.

311
00:24:13,206 --> 00:24:15,840
She's been through a lot.

312
00:24:16,461 --> 00:24:18,528
Close-up on her face.

313
00:24:18,940 --> 00:24:21,424
Half of him is paralyzed.

314
00:24:21,525 --> 00:24:24,624
Half the nerves died,

315
00:24:24,725 --> 00:24:27,191
how Germany died,

316
00:24:27,292 --> 00:24:30,324
how his marriage also died.

317
00:24:30,425 --> 00:24:33,824
Half of her refuses to face the future,

318
00:24:33,925 --> 00:24:37,358
what the world calls peace.

319
00:24:58,055 --> 00:25:00,455
What there was?

320
00:25:05,384 --> 00:25:06,798
I...

321
00:25:06,899 --> 00:25:09,565
I don't know...

322
00:25:10,584 --> 00:25:13,917
Suddenly it was like this...

323
00:25:21,634 --> 00:25:23,999
Still in the Second World War.

324
00:25:24,100 --> 00:25:28,000
The Inheritance, by M�rta M�sz�ros.

325
00:25:29,534 --> 00:25:32,258
Isabelle Huppert is a young
Jewish surrogate mother

326
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,592
expecting a baby for another couple.

327
00:25:36,301 --> 00:25:37,300
Close-up.

328
00:25:37,401 --> 00:25:41,013
Your pain. Your body is suffering.

329
00:25:42,367 --> 00:25:45,970
Cut to the woman
who she's having the baby for.

330
00:25:46,071 --> 00:25:50,003
In your elegant room
of the Austro-Hungarian Empire,

331
00:25:50,104 --> 00:25:52,604
she imagines herself giving birth.

332
00:25:54,204 --> 00:25:57,071
Cut back to the actual birth.

333
00:26:00,660 --> 00:26:04,293
And for the imagination.
The most open plan...

334
00:26:10,348 --> 00:26:12,015
The suffering of the body...

335
00:26:16,001 --> 00:26:17,435
And then...

336
00:26:20,032 --> 00:26:21,599
The pain of the mind.

337
00:26:30,999 --> 00:26:34,432
The sound of the baby shivers the adoptive mother.

338
00:26:39,571 --> 00:26:43,331
She holds her head.
The pain is up here.

339
00:26:43,432 --> 00:26:48,332
M�sz�ros is filming
the body-mind division.

340
00:27:01,499 --> 00:27:04,898
Covered bodies,
the materiality of bodies,

341
00:27:04,999 --> 00:27:10,523
hands in cinema, collective bodies,
symbolic bodies.

342
00:27:10,624 --> 00:27:14,591
Finally, an impossible body.

343
00:27:14,999 --> 00:27:19,499
A shocking revelation
in a great film about bodies.

344
00:27:20,232 --> 00:27:22,760
A woman without eyebrows.

345
00:27:22,861 --> 00:27:25,727
Pale as a Balthus painting.

346
00:27:26,830 --> 00:27:29,464
And then something like
with an ultrasound.

347
00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:39,298
One of the boys we've seen
before in this supernatural film.

348
00:27:39,399 --> 00:27:43,066
It's his belly that's being scanned.

349
00:27:43,499 --> 00:27:45,099
He's pregnant.

350
00:27:45,832 --> 00:27:50,498
One of the impossibilities
in the controlled and austere world

351
00:27:50,599 --> 00:27:57,165
by director Hadzihalilovic
It's that birth has been reinvented.

352
00:28:00,632 --> 00:28:05,132
The bodies of science fiction
are usually redirected.

353
00:28:07,165 --> 00:28:10,299
Biology has been overcome.

354
00:28:26,533 --> 00:28:30,231
It's no wonder that a movie,
a visual work seen in the dark,

355
00:28:30,332 --> 00:28:33,365
was and is bewitched by sex.

356
00:28:34,399 --> 00:28:36,964
As one of the things
most attractive adults

357
00:28:37,065 --> 00:28:38,899
wouldn't it attract the lenses?

358
00:28:39,632 --> 00:28:41,664
Mostly, men
controlled the lenses,

359
00:28:41,765 --> 00:28:44,115
which is noticeable by the results,

360
00:28:44,266 --> 00:28:47,198
but how did the directors film the sex?

361
00:28:47,299 --> 00:28:50,599
What can we learn from your
How to turn it into a cinema?

362
00:28:53,574 --> 00:28:57,731
CHAPTER 19 - SEX

363
00:28:57,832 --> 00:29:01,464
The first thing to say
How many films are pre-sex,

364
00:29:01,565 --> 00:29:04,532
On the verge of sex, anticipating sex.

365
00:29:06,329 --> 00:29:09,398
The actress' debut film
and French director Diane Kurys,

366
00:29:09,499 --> 00:29:11,165
Diabolo Menthe.

367
00:29:12,199 --> 00:29:16,165
Teenagers, Paris, 1963.

368
00:29:16,499 --> 00:29:20,499
Anticipating sex, imagining sex.

369
00:29:21,065 --> 00:29:25,198
Kurys filmed them well framed,
strong light,

370
00:29:25,299 --> 00:29:27,499
the glow of comic lighting.

371
00:29:29,032 --> 00:29:31,998
Crystal clear images that capture
your delicious confusion

372
00:29:32,099 --> 00:29:34,065
about what sex will be about.

373
00:29:36,265 --> 00:29:38,224
I slept with a boy.

374
00:29:39,835 --> 00:29:41,668
It's true.

375
00:29:42,461 --> 00:29:44,818
-And what happened?
-Nothing.

376
00:29:45,065 --> 00:29:47,931
I went to his house,
I mean, his parents...

377
00:29:48,032 --> 00:29:51,165
We went to the bedroom and he kissed me on the mouth.

378
00:29:51,567 --> 00:29:53,564
-Did he stick his tongue out?
-Of course.

379
00:29:53,665 --> 00:29:57,099
-How disgusting!
-That's how it's done.

380
00:29:58,524 --> 00:30:00,635
He asked me to take off my clothes.

381
00:30:00,736 --> 00:30:03,005
And did you take it? In front of him?

382
00:30:03,165 --> 00:30:07,498
Yes. And then he asked me
to lie naked in bed.

383
00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:10,021
-I don't believe it.
-I swear it's true!

384
00:30:10,227 --> 00:30:11,289
And then?

385
00:30:11,390 --> 00:30:13,878
-What do you mean later?
-What happened?

386
00:30:13,979 --> 00:30:18,113
Nothing. He lay down next to me
and read a comic book.

387
00:30:18,214 --> 00:30:20,647
-Is that it?
-Yes.

388
00:30:31,699 --> 00:30:35,599
The end of innocence
takes it one step further.

389
00:30:36,085 --> 00:30:39,868
The girls ran away from school
and they went to this source.

390
00:30:40,008 --> 00:30:42,964
Boys kicked your ball
football in the fountain

391
00:30:43,065 --> 00:30:44,965
and one of them went to get her.

392
00:30:52,832 --> 00:30:55,229
One of the girls partially sees him,

393
00:30:55,330 --> 00:31:00,330
but Hadzihalilovic uses the source
to cover your vision.

394
00:31:00,732 --> 00:31:02,932
The scene is like a premonition...

395
00:31:05,902 --> 00:31:09,702
Sexuality is partially
hidden by the fountain of youth.

396
00:31:45,144 --> 00:31:48,877
And then, the last take
by director Hadzhalilovic...

397
00:31:51,891 --> 00:31:55,191
Beautiful, unprecedented.

398
00:31:55,699 --> 00:31:57,898
Alfred Hitchcock
Said a shot from above

399
00:31:57,999 --> 00:32:00,665
It's like the top string of a violin.

400
00:32:07,513 --> 00:32:09,913
All right, who's next?

401
00:32:10,014 --> 00:32:14,764
I've Never Been a Saint, by Jamie Babbit.
A gay healing camp.

402
00:32:14,865 --> 00:32:18,298
Comic book colors,
compositions, attitudes.

403
00:32:18,399 --> 00:32:21,098
A view of sex so foolish and uninformed

404
00:32:21,199 --> 00:32:23,231
as for the girls of Diabolo Menthe.

405
00:32:23,332 --> 00:32:27,731
It's fun, we're making love.
There's nothing dirty about that.

406
00:32:27,832 --> 00:32:30,831
Sex is beautiful when practiced
between man and woman.

407
00:32:30,932 --> 00:32:32,208
Mommy!

408
00:32:32,499 --> 00:32:34,198
Very well, not in this position,

409
00:32:34,299 --> 00:32:37,564
the woman opens her legs, like a flower.

410
00:32:37,665 --> 00:32:39,398
Well done, Graham!

411
00:32:39,499 --> 00:32:44,065
At that moment,
the man inserts himself into the woman.

412
00:32:49,799 --> 00:32:53,232
Yes, that's it... Yes, that's it!

413
00:32:53,699 --> 00:32:56,064
-Mrs. Brown?
-What happened, Joe?

414
00:32:56,165 --> 00:32:59,464
-What about foreplay?
-Foreplay is for sissies!

415
00:32:59,565 --> 00:33:02,731
Real men, shove,
unload and leave.

416
00:33:02,832 --> 00:33:04,055
Mom!

417
00:33:06,432 --> 00:33:08,764
In Senegal, in contrast,

418
00:33:08,865 --> 00:33:13,432
Safi Faye shows maturity
of sexual teaching.

419
00:33:13,997 --> 00:33:16,479
This woman is having sex
with your husband.

420
00:33:16,582 --> 00:33:19,249
A golden and polished scene.

421
00:33:19,965 --> 00:33:23,731
Suddenly a scream outside
from the painting of teenager Mossane.

422
00:33:23,832 --> 00:33:24,931
Dibor!

423
00:33:25,032 --> 00:33:27,598
I'm going to cum! Stay!

424
00:33:28,498 --> 00:33:31,231
Go away, my friend is coming.

425
00:33:31,332 --> 00:33:33,232
She is still a child.

426
00:33:39,665 --> 00:33:41,232
Are you there?

427
00:33:42,465 --> 00:33:43,797
Is it you, Mossane?

428
00:33:43,898 --> 00:33:45,497
-Yes.
-Between.

429
00:33:45,598 --> 00:33:47,513
The woman does not hide her pleasure.

430
00:33:47,712 --> 00:33:50,177
She describes her context and her fun.

431
00:33:50,278 --> 00:33:54,633
My body is tingling
of soft and deep caresses.

432
00:33:54,734 --> 00:33:57,904
-Tell me about it.
-My husband Daouda...

433
00:33:58,107 --> 00:34:01,641
I came to talk about Fara. Just his...

434
00:34:02,165 --> 00:34:04,464
When Daouda returns from the field,

435
00:34:04,565 --> 00:34:09,203
suffering from working so much
and I feel like loving,

436
00:34:09,304 --> 00:34:11,270
his energy is reborn.

437
00:34:11,860 --> 00:34:14,159
And when it's over, my heart races

438
00:34:14,260 --> 00:34:18,439
and beats like a drum.

439
00:34:18,540 --> 00:34:21,140
Again the warmth and brightness of the images.

440
00:34:21,241 --> 00:34:22,774
I am going to take a bath.

441
00:34:27,860 --> 00:34:29,360
Put on that dress.

442
00:34:32,427 --> 00:34:33,894
And then this...

443
00:34:43,227 --> 00:34:44,526
Stop!

444
00:34:44,627 --> 00:34:47,194
Unconscious, fun.

445
00:34:57,994 --> 00:35:02,927
And here is a fifth scene imagining
sex, anticipating sex...

446
00:35:04,427 --> 00:35:07,225
Like almost everything in the film Attenberg,

447
00:35:07,326 --> 00:35:10,259
your notion of sex is surreal.

448
00:35:10,994 --> 00:35:12,626
Bella, on the left,

449
00:35:12,727 --> 00:35:15,959
is counting is sexually
inexperienced Marina, on the right,

450
00:35:16,060 --> 00:35:19,159
about bizarre and unreal sexual cacti

451
00:35:19,260 --> 00:35:21,460
where penises hang.

452
00:35:24,060 --> 00:35:27,494
Some curved to the left,
others to the right...

453
00:35:28,094 --> 00:35:31,927
Some with foreskin, others without.

454
00:35:33,127 --> 00:35:36,294
Trees with thorns. Prickly.

455
00:35:36,660 --> 00:35:38,516
For the sobriety of the walk,

456
00:35:38,617 --> 00:35:40,927
they appear to be at a funeral.

457
00:35:41,150 --> 00:35:43,483
An unblinking socket.

458
00:35:43,584 --> 00:35:48,599
Some were small and withered,
but they swayed a little...

459
00:35:49,540 --> 00:35:51,747
As if they were breathing.

460
00:35:54,838 --> 00:35:57,683
Depicted images of sex and men

461
00:35:57,784 --> 00:36:00,284
like in a Salvador Dali painting.

462
00:36:09,030 --> 00:36:11,849
Fun, glimpsed, stereotyped,

463
00:36:11,950 --> 00:36:14,417
taught, surreal.

464
00:36:14,907 --> 00:36:17,940
Some of the ways in which
sex can be brought forward.

465
00:36:18,524 --> 00:36:21,224
And then we started doing it.

466
00:36:22,818 --> 00:36:26,351
With a certain innocence in
Betting on Love, by Nancy Savoca.

467
00:36:37,126 --> 00:36:39,726
Hiding the condom
in a teddy bear.

468
00:36:40,993 --> 00:36:43,292
River Phoenix is a marine
18 year old naval officer,

469
00:36:43,393 --> 00:36:45,659
heading to Okinawa the next morning.

470
00:36:46,126 --> 00:36:49,659
He rushes because he doesn't want to
let her see him undressing.

471
00:36:53,759 --> 00:36:55,425
Lily Taylor is his girlfriend.

472
00:36:55,526 --> 00:36:58,493
She's getting dressed before sex!

473
00:36:58,959 --> 00:37:00,592
A Doris Day evening dress.

474
00:37:00,693 --> 00:37:03,767
It's 1963. She looks so young.

475
00:37:03,868 --> 00:37:06,002
Cut to the scene between them.

476
00:37:06,759 --> 00:37:10,759
A poster of Odetta Holmes,
civil rights activist.

477
00:37:11,393 --> 00:37:14,559
The difficult world,
The world of war is out there.

478
00:37:23,159 --> 00:37:25,342
Taylor wants to be a folk singer.

479
00:37:25,594 --> 00:37:27,726
He hurt her a lot at the beginning of the film...

480
00:37:27,827 --> 00:37:32,127
In addition to tenderness, there is a reparation here.

481
00:37:32,359 --> 00:37:33,793
You look beautiful.

482
00:37:42,926 --> 00:37:45,293
-You are very beautiful.
-Thanks.

483
00:37:47,626 --> 00:37:49,859
Affection and restorative sex.

484
00:37:53,826 --> 00:37:55,726
Sorry, the bed is small.

485
00:37:57,326 --> 00:37:58,959
And Bob Dylan...

486
00:38:14,459 --> 00:38:18,693
Well, there's no point
If you ask why, baby

487
00:38:19,859 --> 00:38:22,293
If you don't know by now

488
00:38:23,559 --> 00:38:27,393
Well, there's no point
If you ask why, baby

489
00:38:28,804 --> 00:38:31,437
It will never help

490
00:38:32,247 --> 00:38:33,947
When your rooster crows

491
00:38:34,048 --> 00:38:36,725
One of the happiest
cinema sex scenes

492
00:38:36,826 --> 00:38:38,659
It is one of the shortest.

493
00:38:39,371 --> 00:38:42,237
Mr. Pascal again, by Alison De Vere.

494
00:38:44,793 --> 00:38:47,293
Mr. Pascal remembers an old love

495
00:38:49,326 --> 00:38:52,326
and suddenly she is naked,
all blue. Curtains.

496
00:38:52,926 --> 00:38:56,991
A vagina, a penis, flowers, ecstasy, the end.

497
00:38:57,092 --> 00:38:59,926
And the two are one. How about that?

498
00:39:02,859 --> 00:39:05,559
Longer and more realistic,

499
00:39:05,892 --> 00:39:08,932
this scene from Sweetie from America,
by Andrea Arnold,

500
00:39:09,033 --> 00:39:12,333
It's maybe so celebratory
as for Mr. Pascal

501
00:39:12,434 --> 00:39:15,318
and as sweet as Mossane.

502
00:39:17,792 --> 00:39:20,258
The camera is below the top of the grass.

503
00:39:20,359 --> 00:39:21,959
Nothing more terrified.

504
00:39:24,159 --> 00:39:27,325
A moment like this becomes more honest...

505
00:39:27,426 --> 00:39:28,726
Wait...

506
00:39:33,959 --> 00:39:35,726
-Do you mind?
-No.

507
00:39:37,065 --> 00:39:39,681
The proximity of Robbie Ryan's camera.

508
00:39:39,792 --> 00:39:41,926
The superficiality of the focus...

509
00:39:49,793 --> 00:39:52,959
The loss of focus and then
a sloppy fit,

510
00:39:54,378 --> 00:39:56,826
but the disorder adds to the scene.

511
00:39:57,026 --> 00:40:00,259
It's as if they had
placed the phone on the grass.

512
00:40:03,959 --> 00:40:07,526
Can you get closer?
We're almost at his hair.

513
00:40:15,613 --> 00:40:19,113
The points of light on her face
and on his back...

514
00:40:21,354 --> 00:40:23,125
Impressionism. It's very good.

515
00:40:23,226 --> 00:40:26,326
-Do you want to cum?
-Yes, please...

516
00:40:30,992 --> 00:40:32,958
This sex scene in Under the Skin

517
00:40:33,059 --> 00:40:35,229
is so in love
As for Andrea Arnold,

518
00:40:35,330 --> 00:40:38,797
but director Carine Adler
adds other elements.

519
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,727
She plays actress Samantha Morton
describe the meeting...

520
00:40:43,828 --> 00:40:45,591
I wanted to talk to him,

521
00:40:45,692 --> 00:40:47,391
I wanted to kiss him,

522
00:40:47,492 --> 00:40:49,259
and then I kissed.

523
00:41:00,126 --> 00:41:02,258
So we have a kind of double narration.

524
00:41:02,359 --> 00:41:04,892
I slide my thigh
between his legs,

525
00:41:05,492 --> 00:41:07,125
he lifts my skirt...

526
00:41:07,226 --> 00:41:09,225
All interspersed with the funeral

527
00:41:09,326 --> 00:41:12,185
and the mother's cremation
of Morton's character.

528
00:41:12,859 --> 00:41:14,626
The young woman is in mourning.

529
00:41:15,326 --> 00:41:16,792
...my stomach,

530
00:41:17,426 --> 00:41:19,791
he takes my nipple in his mouth and sucks,

531
00:41:19,892 --> 00:41:21,826
bite hard.

532
00:41:23,059 --> 00:41:25,692
He's after me,
hugging my hips.

533
00:41:26,426 --> 00:41:30,358
Editing connects
the passion of mourning is sex.

534
00:41:30,459 --> 00:41:33,192
...your hand between my legs,
separating me...

535
00:41:33,626 --> 00:41:35,358
Another type of Impressionism.

536
00:41:35,459 --> 00:41:39,392
Pushing all the way,
deep inside me...

537
00:41:40,259 --> 00:41:42,526
From Impressionism to Cubism.

538
00:41:42,959 --> 00:41:45,125
Another scene of sexual fulfillment...

539
00:41:45,226 --> 00:41:48,058
1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

540
00:41:48,159 --> 00:41:50,891
6, 7, 8, 9,

541
00:41:50,992 --> 00:41:53,826
10, 11, 12...

542
00:41:54,768 --> 00:41:57,801
Longer... 13,14,

543
00:41:58,959 --> 00:42:01,759
15, 16,

544
00:42:02,259 --> 00:42:03,792
17,

545
00:42:04,292 --> 00:42:05,692
18,

546
00:42:06,492 --> 00:42:07,859
19,

547
00:42:09,759 --> 00:42:11,092
20...

548
00:42:14,426 --> 00:42:15,720
So planned

549
00:42:15,821 --> 00:42:18,954
as for the Arnold scene
It didn't seem to be planned at all.

550
00:42:24,657 --> 00:42:29,759
Stillness and then small
movements of fingers or eyelashes.

551
00:42:34,326 --> 00:42:37,125
Varda and her sexual scenes
of shapes, of contrasts

552
00:42:37,226 --> 00:42:40,059
between hairy and hairless parts of the body.

553
00:42:48,159 --> 00:42:52,213
A similar scene
in the film by Austrian Valie Export,

554
00:42:52,314 --> 00:42:54,481
Invisible Adversaries.

555
00:42:55,159 --> 00:42:57,559
The main character is a photographer.

556
00:42:58,359 --> 00:43:01,926
After this live action,
we see her photos.

557
00:43:06,459 --> 00:43:07,892
Everything is static.

558
00:43:08,226 --> 00:43:10,777
The lovers' bodies form a pattern.

559
00:43:10,878 --> 00:43:12,945
A storm as a soundtrack.

560
00:43:25,026 --> 00:43:26,158
Rhythmic.

561
00:43:26,259 --> 00:43:28,626
Sex like a rhythmic storm.

562
00:43:48,226 --> 00:43:52,359
The first fiction film
by Donna Deitch, Deserted Hearts.

563
00:43:53,541 --> 00:43:54,625
No music,

564
00:43:54,726 --> 00:43:57,758
almost as composed close-ups
as those of Varda.

565
00:43:57,859 --> 00:44:01,292
Real time, natural light, softness.

566
00:44:09,626 --> 00:44:11,026
She's shaking.

567
00:44:26,992 --> 00:44:29,175
She is divorcing her husband

568
00:44:29,301 --> 00:44:31,867
and this is his first time with a woman.

569
00:44:32,625 --> 00:44:34,925
The microphone captures their breathing.

570
00:44:46,692 --> 00:44:48,858
Greta Garbo called
for actress Helen Shaver

571
00:44:48,959 --> 00:44:51,558
to say how much
admired his performance.

572
00:44:51,659 --> 00:44:54,259
Shaver herself became director.

573
00:44:56,692 --> 00:44:58,758
After 4 scenes of good sex,

574
00:44:58,859 --> 00:45:01,958
let's look at the complex, but good sex.

575
00:45:02,059 --> 00:45:06,925
Movie scenes with indecision,
control and masochism.

576
00:45:10,492 --> 00:45:13,792
The Future, by the writer
and director Miranda July.

577
00:45:15,925 --> 00:45:18,191
She went to the house
of a middle-aged man.

578
00:45:18,292 --> 00:45:19,959
She runs away from him.

579
00:45:27,192 --> 00:45:30,096
So we have this great shot
of your feet stretching.

580
00:45:31,259 --> 00:45:33,391
The upward movement tells us more.

581
00:45:33,492 --> 00:45:34,775
She's excited,

582
00:45:34,876 --> 00:45:37,876
but not exactly
by his old-fashioned advancement.

583
00:45:50,688 --> 00:45:52,891
The confidence of your posture...

584
00:45:52,992 --> 00:45:55,959
And she allows him to do it.

585
00:46:02,987 --> 00:46:04,254
Wait...

586
00:46:11,581 --> 00:46:13,481
Cut to an object.

587
00:46:14,192 --> 00:46:16,391
Does she want to feel like an object?

588
00:46:16,492 --> 00:46:18,524
A dissociation.

589
00:46:18,625 --> 00:46:21,959
An out-of-body experience
Or was that in the body?

590
00:46:25,459 --> 00:46:29,159
She wants it to be impersonal, detached.

591
00:46:51,059 --> 00:46:54,125
A second scene
about the complexity of sex.

592
00:46:54,725 --> 00:46:58,076
The Argentine film XXY, by Lucia Puenzo,

593
00:46:58,177 --> 00:47:00,191
that we saw for the first time
in chapter 12.

594
00:47:00,292 --> 00:47:01,992
Teenagers.

595
00:47:02,721 --> 00:47:05,991
He tries to put his hand inside
of her pants, but she stops him.

596
00:47:06,092 --> 00:47:08,908
Hand safe, shot closed
like in Sweetie from America,

597
00:47:09,111 --> 00:47:11,385
but with a bluer light.

598
00:47:24,126 --> 00:47:26,326
Then she turns him onto his stomach.

599
00:47:27,092 --> 00:47:31,692
Cut to his face,
without knowing what happens.

600
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:33,813
Then she penetrates him.

601
00:47:33,914 --> 00:47:36,147
She is a hermaphrodite.

602
00:47:38,390 --> 00:47:40,390
We barely see their faces.

603
00:47:43,045 --> 00:47:45,345
Then her father sees them.

604
00:47:55,533 --> 00:47:58,566
Then we are in a forest
and that blue light again.

605
00:48:06,637 --> 00:48:08,837
The boy is running away from what happened.

606
00:48:08,938 --> 00:48:11,005
Shocked. Uncertain.

607
00:48:22,605 --> 00:48:23,972
And then this...

608
00:48:30,659 --> 00:48:33,525
Excited and crying at the same time.

609
00:48:33,862 --> 00:48:35,796
An exhausted body.

610
00:48:44,812 --> 00:48:48,591
Maren Ade is also interested
in control attractions.

611
00:48:48,692 --> 00:48:52,025
No, my snack is more important.
I'll just watch you.

612
00:48:52,959 --> 00:48:55,596
Ins is tired of pretending,

613
00:48:55,697 --> 00:48:58,697
to be a business consultant,
of facades.

614
00:48:59,125 --> 00:49:00,391
An ordinary hotel room,

615
00:49:00,492 --> 00:49:03,508
the kind of room you spend a lot of time in.

616
00:49:03,609 --> 00:49:06,309
Relaxed, have a glass of wine.

617
00:49:06,525 --> 00:49:08,225
She puts him to work.

618
00:49:13,988 --> 00:49:17,121
I want you to hit one of the petits fours.

619
00:49:25,364 --> 00:49:27,130
I'll eat later.

620
00:49:32,059 --> 00:49:34,025
Are you serious?

621
00:49:34,659 --> 00:49:38,125
She likes him, but wants to break the routine.

622
00:49:38,825 --> 00:49:41,759
He's on his knees.
She likes this power.

623
00:49:44,325 --> 00:49:45,825
Him too.

624
00:49:48,525 --> 00:49:52,825
She creates a script.
She is the director, he is the actor.

625
00:49:54,861 --> 00:49:56,328
Which one?

626
00:49:57,925 --> 00:49:59,759
You choose.

627
00:50:02,492 --> 00:50:03,792
Green...

628
00:50:30,370 --> 00:50:32,736
You are very stupid...

629
00:51:03,382 --> 00:51:04,582
In The Prisoner,

630
00:51:04,683 --> 00:51:07,283
Chantal Akerman takes this further.

631
00:51:08,725 --> 00:51:11,791
She talks about control.
The camera does not move.

632
00:51:11,892 --> 00:51:14,446
The man, Simon, barely moves.

633
00:51:14,547 --> 00:51:16,580
We came to realize that your girlfriend,

634
00:51:16,681 --> 00:51:19,705
who he is obsessed with,
Is it behind the glass?

635
00:51:21,456 --> 00:51:22,890
Maybe not.

636
00:51:25,848 --> 00:51:28,002
I'm scared sometimes that I'm stinky.

637
00:51:29,758 --> 00:51:31,258
On the contrary,

638
00:51:34,487 --> 00:51:36,687
when you sweat lightly,

639
00:51:37,892 --> 00:51:40,292
-that humidity...
-Do you like it?

640
00:51:42,258 --> 00:51:44,758
Sometimes I feel like I have a bad smell

641
00:51:44,859 --> 00:51:49,426
that even I get irritated
and I want to close my legs.

642
00:51:53,258 --> 00:51:55,292
These are the best moments.

643
00:51:57,925 --> 00:52:00,354
Your vagina is so beautiful
when you're shy...

644
00:52:02,158 --> 00:52:06,125
The opposite of the splendor of the hand
on the grass in Docinho da América.

645
00:52:06,458 --> 00:52:11,091
It's a no-touch sex scene,
filtered through language,

646
00:52:11,192 --> 00:52:12,458
by confession.

647
00:52:12,825 --> 00:52:14,658
And I looked at you...

648
00:52:17,088 --> 00:52:18,591
And I...

649
00:52:18,692 --> 00:52:21,291
I slowly separated her legs...

650
00:52:21,392 --> 00:52:23,791
Would he say these things face to face?

651
00:52:23,892 --> 00:52:26,158
And I observed her beautiful vagina.

652
00:52:28,592 --> 00:52:30,392
Do you mind?

653
00:52:31,292 --> 00:52:32,491
No...

654
00:52:32,592 --> 00:52:34,357
Do as you please.

655
00:52:34,458 --> 00:52:36,458
It's like a telephone call.

656
00:52:37,992 --> 00:52:41,058
And I breathed into her, warm and soft.

657
00:52:41,758 --> 00:52:42,891
Really?

658
00:52:42,992 --> 00:52:45,192
Yes, my Ariene.

659
00:52:47,392 --> 00:52:51,091
If it weren't for my allergy
and all the pollen you have,

660
00:52:51,192 --> 00:52:53,492
I would ask him never to wash again.

661
00:52:54,992 --> 00:52:57,557
-Never?
-Less frequently.

662
00:52:57,658 --> 00:52:59,092
And then this...

663
00:53:03,062 --> 00:53:05,091
A deus ex machina.

664
00:53:05,192 --> 00:53:07,363
It's as if she were
on a movie screen

665
00:53:07,464 --> 00:53:09,797
or on the screen of his desire.

666
00:53:20,725 --> 00:53:25,992
Expectation, pleasure, control,
direction, submission.

667
00:53:26,825 --> 00:53:30,774
All the characters we saw
enjoyed their sex scenes.

668
00:53:30,966 --> 00:53:33,474
There was reciprocity,

669
00:53:33,616 --> 00:53:36,516
cooperation, creativity.

670
00:53:37,258 --> 00:53:39,325
Bateman ruins it.

671
00:53:40,525 --> 00:53:44,157
Panning to the mirror
for him to admire.

672
00:53:44,258 --> 00:53:47,458
He is with two women,
but they are ignored.

673
00:53:50,460 --> 00:53:52,041
He fixes his hair.

674
00:53:52,142 --> 00:53:53,991
You're having sex with yourself.

675
00:53:54,092 --> 00:53:57,458
You are fascinated by your self
sexual, its beauty.

676
00:53:58,025 --> 00:54:01,425
This is not sex, it is the image of sex.

677
00:54:08,892 --> 00:54:11,557
Catherine Breillat,
which has some of the films

678
00:54:11,658 --> 00:54:14,311
more sexually frank
to be distributed,

679
00:54:14,412 --> 00:54:16,391
did this scene in To My Sister,

680
00:54:16,492 --> 00:54:19,391
in which the younger sister
It is pragmatic in terms of choice

681
00:54:19,492 --> 00:54:21,725
that the oldest is about to do.

682
00:54:22,258 --> 00:54:25,725
The oldest girl
had anal sex with a boy

683
00:54:25,826 --> 00:54:28,057
and he just gave you
an engagement ring,

684
00:54:28,158 --> 00:54:31,658
so she thinks they
You can now have vaginal sex.

685
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,252
His grandmother left it for him.

686
00:54:42,258 --> 00:54:45,869
I think I'll give myself to him tonight.

687
00:54:46,358 --> 00:54:49,237
You use some very bizarre expressions.

688
00:54:49,358 --> 00:54:53,483
If he uses a condom,
I let it go until the end.

689
00:54:53,584 --> 00:54:56,051
Spare me the details, please.

690
00:54:58,625 --> 00:55:00,627
You have no idea how scared I am.

691
00:55:00,992 --> 00:55:03,502
But I have to go through this one day,

692
00:55:04,058 --> 00:55:07,192
so it better be
with someone I love.

693
00:55:07,685 --> 00:55:10,285
Simple reverse angle shots.

694
00:55:10,825 --> 00:55:14,074
What do you think? What do you advise me?

695
00:55:14,285 --> 00:55:16,352
The wisdom of the youngest.

696
00:55:16,692 --> 00:55:20,091
In any case,
between what they have already done and this

697
00:55:20,192 --> 00:55:23,291
There is no moral difference, in my opinion.

698
00:55:23,392 --> 00:55:25,692
There is a huge difference.

699
00:55:26,625 --> 00:55:31,846
I prefer my first
Sometimes it's with someone I don't love.

700
00:55:31,992 --> 00:55:34,174
Because after

701
00:55:34,568 --> 00:55:37,057
you discover that he doesn't
loves you or that you don't love him

702
00:55:37,158 --> 00:55:39,065
and feel like an idiot.

703
00:55:39,925 --> 00:55:42,658
You'll know when you're loving it.

704
00:55:43,225 --> 00:55:44,525
I highly doubt it.

705
00:55:45,425 --> 00:55:47,857
Either way, I don't care.

706
00:55:47,958 --> 00:55:52,425
As long as I don't wake myself up,
You can do it all night.

707
00:55:54,912 --> 00:55:56,657
No moral difference

708
00:55:56,758 --> 00:56:00,325
and she doesn't want to be in love
for her first man.

709
00:56:07,358 --> 00:56:09,157
In Marielle Heller's debut film,

710
00:56:09,258 --> 00:56:11,024
The Diary of a Teenager,

711
00:56:11,125 --> 00:56:15,625
the girl is more experienced
that Breillat's younger sister...

712
00:56:16,258 --> 00:56:18,324
She slept with her mother's boyfriend.

713
00:56:18,425 --> 00:56:21,714
But she's also making decisions

714
00:56:21,815 --> 00:56:24,981
and is so cautious
as the girl from Breillat.

715
00:56:25,191 --> 00:56:26,690
Heller's narration technique

716
00:56:26,791 --> 00:56:29,758
gives us quick access
to Minnie's thoughts.

717
00:56:30,125 --> 00:56:32,890
In every detail she looked
the whore he would become,

718
00:56:32,991 --> 00:56:34,757
the bra straps showing,

719
00:56:34,858 --> 00:56:37,157
tight pants
and comfortable in the groin,

720
00:56:37,258 --> 00:56:39,825
almost like a horse seen from behind.

721
00:56:40,291 --> 00:56:42,480
But animation takes us further,

722
00:56:42,581 --> 00:56:46,814
even the way she sees herself
and imagine sex and power.

723
00:56:47,558 --> 00:56:51,288
She calls herself a whore,
but in your mind,

724
00:56:51,389 --> 00:56:55,155
she is much bigger
than the new boy he kissed.

725
00:56:55,859 --> 00:56:57,158
What it was?

726
00:56:58,291 --> 00:56:59,490
It's that...

727
00:56:59,591 --> 00:57:02,558
It was... Intense.

728
00:57:04,525 --> 00:57:08,358
It's like having sex with you, Minnie...

729
00:57:09,525 --> 00:57:10,924
It scares me a little.

730
00:57:11,025 --> 00:57:12,924
Beyond initiation.

731
00:57:13,025 --> 00:57:15,124
Above sex, in a way.

732
00:57:15,225 --> 00:57:16,290
What I mean to say...

733
00:57:16,391 --> 00:57:19,791
I've never been with someone who has sex like that.

734
00:57:21,566 --> 00:57:22,866
Oh no!

735
00:57:23,491 --> 00:57:26,716
The girl from Breillat and Minnie
are prudent about sex,

736
00:57:26,817 --> 00:57:28,917
but in Katrin Gebbe's debut film,

737
00:57:29,018 --> 00:57:30,515
Nothing Bad Can Happen,

738
00:57:30,616 --> 00:57:33,596
The main character
sees sex as demonic.

739
00:57:37,998 --> 00:57:42,065
Curly blonde hair
of an ancient religious painting.

740
00:57:42,563 --> 00:57:44,675
On the t-shirt, "Jesus is a freak."

741
00:57:44,776 --> 00:57:46,209
And suddenly, this...

742
00:57:52,799 --> 00:57:54,999
The soundtrack distorts.

743
00:57:55,341 --> 00:57:56,874
He doesn't know where to look.

744
00:57:57,685 --> 00:57:58,818
Paralyzed.

745
00:57:58,919 --> 00:58:00,185
Drug!

746
00:58:00,585 --> 00:58:03,219
Tore, what are you doing here?

747
00:58:04,152 --> 00:58:06,751
In panic, recurring images.

748
00:58:06,852 --> 00:58:08,952
Abnormals get married first.

749
00:58:10,019 --> 00:58:12,819
It should be true love.

750
00:58:14,552 --> 00:58:18,384
You don't even know what this is,
never had a girlfriend.

751
00:58:18,485 --> 00:58:20,884
The love of Jesus is more important.

752
00:58:20,985 --> 00:58:22,918
Great.

753
00:58:23,019 --> 00:58:25,785
Does he hug you too?

754
00:58:26,552 --> 00:58:30,552
Girls don't like you,
So it's never tried, right?

755
00:58:31,952 --> 00:58:33,185
Hypocrite.

756
00:58:41,102 --> 00:58:43,284
Finally, something that is the opposite of that.

757
00:58:43,385 --> 00:58:45,618
Heddy Honigmann's creative documentary

758
00:58:45,719 --> 00:58:49,051
about Brazilians and their
relationship with erotic poetry

759
00:58:49,152 --> 00:58:51,552
by Carlos Drummond de Andrade.

760
00:58:52,719 --> 00:58:55,184
A microwave advertisement on TV

761
00:58:55,285 --> 00:58:57,585
that ends
with a fun observation...

762
00:59:06,474 --> 00:59:09,284
We cut to the actress,
filmed in close-up,

763
00:59:09,385 --> 00:59:13,752
natural light and she reads a poem by Drummond.

764
00:59:18,018 --> 00:59:20,585
Hesitant, but resourceful.
