I mean, I remember when you'd see nudity or sensuality in many movies, some of the highest artistic merit.
Now, actresses seem to be picked for their bland, almost asexual appearance and libidinous scenes are non-existent.
Maybe I'm wrong and the rise of internet porn and x-rated industry are the culprits. At any rate, when you eliminate that aspect of film, you've taken away a lot.
(I recently saw the highly flawed recent film of "The Brown Bunny." I envy Gallo his girlfriend, Sarah Polley, especially in the last few scenes, which are hard to swallow).
