Gil, Inês2009-10Gil, I 2009, 'Lugares Sagrados: Corpo e Sensualidade no Cinema', Paper presented at Faculdade de Belas -Artes, 1/10/09.In film, Eros manifests itself in the image temporality to wake the sensation up. But the image needs to remain ambiguous to suggest and not to show. In suggesting, it maintains a distance between the body representation and its sensuality. In showing, the image may turn into another genre: the obscene or the pornographic one. That is why Eros has a sacred place in film because it always maintains a veil upon its presentation: the body exteriority and interiority become mystery. It is the filmic "aura" of Eros.application/pdfporopenAccessCINEMAEROTISMOFILMESCINEMAEROTISMFILMSconferenceObject
