Also considered is the influence of these films on other countries, particularly the United States, where Scandinavian erotic cinema helped to set in motion the sexual revolution and contributed to the end of film censorship" -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references and indexISBN: 9780786444885Contents: -- One: To 1966 : birth of a mythology -- Two: 1967-1970 : censorship's last stand -- Three: 1971 and beyond: total freedom in fact and fiction -- Four: The passing of an era -- appendices -- notes -- bibliography -- index --

She found it at the movies : women writers on sex, desire and the cinema / edited by Christina Newland Dorset: Red Press, 2020.
Call No: 749.0-041.2 SHEAuthor: Newland, Christina Edition: 2020Place: DorsetPublisher: Red PressPubDate: 2020PhysDes: 208 pages ; 21 cmSubject: SEX AND THE CINEMA ; SEX IN FILMS ; EROTICISM IN FILMS ; WOMEN, FILMS FOR ; HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE CINEMA ; HOMOSEXUALITY IN FILMS Summary: Because Timothee Chalamet’s eyes gleam with the light of a thousand suns. Because you’d let Zoë Kravitz get away with putting gum in your hair. And because there really should be a national monument dedicated to Gene Kelly’s ass.
From the tongue-in-cheek to the righteously enraged, She Found it at the Movies explores women’s secret desires, teen crushes, and one-sided movie star love affairs, flipping the switch on a century of cinema’s male-gaze domination. With misogyny and sexism still taking centre stage in the real world -- what can women’s relationships with movies tell us about the wider landscape of sexuality, politics and culture?
Featuring writers you know and love from BuzzFeed, The Guardian, Vulture and more, these essays pose thoughtful questions about the politics of desire. Like a guilt-free chat with your smartest girlfriends, this book is a positive celebration of female sexuality at its thirstiest.
Edited by Christina Newland and featuring original essays by: Sarah Elizabeth Adler, Corrina Antrobus, Anne Rodeman, Lauren Vevers, Caroline Golum, Izzy Alcott, Pamela Hutchinson, Eloise Ross, Jessica Kiang, Sophie Monks Kaufman, Willow Maclay, Raechel Anne Jolie, So Mayer, Amy Blakemore, Violet Lucca, Anna Bogutskaya, Simran Hans, Megan Christopher, Catherine Bray and Sheila O’Malley. Yep, you heard that right. -- publisher's web siteISBN: 9781912157181
