In Reply to: What is the most memorable " erotic * " scene you ever saw on film ? posted by patrickU on April 21, 2003 at 12:15:12:

...while erotism, and immediate seduction, is in the air, in a most electrifying way!

The film was Aristarain´s "Lugares Comunes" (Common Places), and I think it has not still been translated into English.

In it, there´s a scene in which Fernando Robles (Federico Luppi), a man in his sixties, meets Tutti Tudela (María Fiorentino), a librarian in her late forties, when he comes in looking for some info about something I can´t remember now and, in a short conversation he, just from courtesy, threads, in a few minutes, kind of a spider web of galantry around her, who becomes trapped, and surrenders to the charms of his talk, making it clear, without reservations, that if he moved a single finger, she´d follow him to the end of the world...

Top class playing from both, in a scene which would deserve a high place in the archives of erotism. And so unexpected, that it takes the viewer off guard, and charms him too.

The film is very good, and it was awarded a Goya, last year.

If you ever find it, have a look at it: you´ll never repent.
