For many years, kisses were the only seexual acts to be seen in mainstream American movies. Then, in the 1960s and 1970s, American cinema “grew up” in response to the seexual revolution, and movie audiences came to expect more knowledge about what happened between the sheets. In Screening Seex, the renowned film scholar Linda Williams investigates how seex acts have been represented on screen for more than a century and, just as important, how we have watched and experienced those representations. Whether examining the arch artistry of Last Tango in Paris, the on-screen orgasms of Jane Fonda, or the anal seex of two cowboys in Brokeback Mountain, Williams illuminates the forms of pleasure and vicarious knowledge derived from screening seex.
Combining stories of her own coming of age as a moviegoer with film history, cultural history, and readings of significant films, Williams presents a fascinating history of the on-screen kiss, a look at the shift from adolescent kisses to more grown-up displays of seex, and a comparison of the “tasteful” Hollywood seexual interlude with seexuality as represented in seexploitation, Blaxploitation, and avant-garde films. She considers Last Tango in Paris and Deep Throat, two 1972 films unapologetically all about seex; In the Realm of the Senses, the only work of 1970s international cinema that combined hard-coore seex with erotic art; and the seexual provocations of the mainstream movies Blue Velvet and Brokeback Mountain. She describes art films since the 1990s, in which the seex is aggressive, loveless, or alienated. Finally, Williams reflects on the experience of screening seex on small screens at home rather than on large screens in public. By understanding screening seex as both revelation and concealment, Williams has written the definitive study of seex at the movies.
