More erotic, than let's say, the scene where the two actually had sex. The teasing, the cause and consequence game, the montage-like direction of Techine is absolutely seductive... or maybe, I'm just sick in the head.Oggs Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041599863258946384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-75686364618448326342010-06-22T21:10:24.354-04:002010-06-22T21:10:24.354-04:00No, not a lot of online eroticism onscreen.
Yeah...No, not a lot of online eroticism onscreen. <br /><br />Yeah, Techine if you fight him you'll end up disliking him. You have to see his films on his terms. And it's not as if he's brutish, or dictatorial; it's just that the mood he intends to create is that fragile--it'll vanish with the least resistance.Noel Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904212081036547668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-74922052505602652232010-06-19T08:26:14.429-04:002010-06-19T08:26:14.429-04:00Great article Noel,

I think this is the first film I've seen where such internet romance/carnality is depicted with open and disarming intensity and sensuality --- it's been a while since that gag in American Pie.Oggs Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041599863258946384noreply@blogger.com
