Brilliant, bizarre and, like the best art-sex films, fully human. For unlike serial killing, or saving the world by beating up a bad guy, or most other favorite Hollywood tropes, the act of sex is something most people do quite often and, no matter how often they do it, think about even more. It's inherently dramatic: courtship, suspense, climax. Emotions lead up to it, tensions surround it. It is one of the loveliest and most fraught aspects of being human. Hollywood films ought to try making cinematic sense of sex. And they can, now that Europe has shown the way.
