DON'T MISS Carnal Knowledge: The Films of Shohei Imamura

If you a big fan of In The Realm of the Senses, then you probably shouldn't miss the season of Shohei Imamura films showing at the ICA from 23 - 31 October 2009.

Like Oshima, Imamura's films were often quite lurid and erotic spectacles that featured strong female characters and weren't afraid to explore lusty and often taboo sexual themes. And for a director who declared he was interested in "the lower part of the human body and the lower part of the social structure", I think he must be a man after our hearts!

DON'T MISS Saucy highlights of London Film Fest 09

Can't be bothered thumbing through LFF's lovely yet extensive 2009 guide just to find the sexy bits? Well, we've made it easy for you:

Cracks (UK, 2009)

Eva Green (she of Vesper in Casino Royale fame) playing a lesbian school mistress who may or may not hook up with one of her nubile teen students. Need we say more?

Chloe (USA/Canada, 2009)

Julianne Moore (who is still pretty fucking fit considering it's been 12 years since Boogie Nights) hires eternally nymphette-ish Amanda Seyfried to screw her husband and tell her the tales in Atom "Exotica" Egoyan latest film.

An Education (UK, 2009)

Having just popped her 16 year old cherry to a much older man in the swirl of swinging 60's London, the divine Carey Mulligan, standing at the window smoking in her negligee, utters the soon-to-be immortal line "All that poetry, and all those songs, about something that lasts no time at all". Expect lots of cone shaped bras pointing bosoms of all sizes to the sky and the infectious enthusiasm of a sex life just begun.

Adrift (Vietnam, 2009)

Twisting and turning sexual games in contemporary East Asia, described as "almost a Vietnamese 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses'", as friends fall in and out of each others beds.
