"There is clearly a connection between sensuality and nature, so that cinema finds a vast palette with which to convey passion and desire. Sensuality is all about creating and building tension, and thrives on atmosphere, subtext, and evocative imagery. It hints, alluding to something under the surface, a yearning that is as ephemeral as it is vital.
A lingering glance across the room; a knowing smile; the touch of silk; lying on the grass in the spring; savoring a piece of fruit as though all of life's joys were contained in it… Cameras capture such details to their full effect, honing in on their suggestiveness.
Below are some films that are steeped in sensuality and mystique. Many are psychological dramas, some are downright disturbing, pushing boundaries, and all have something to say about the nature of desire."
