Answer 4

Since 2 out of the 3 example movies you gave are foreign, most movies like this are made in other countries. The movie industry in America has been unable to make a distinction between adult movies featuring a lot of s*x, and pornography. Most American movies are self-censored to get an R rating. Most main-stream movies try to get a PG-13 rating.

----------------------

- "The Lover" was a very adult, very s**y movie that is non-porngraphic. The book was written in 1984 about an affair that happend in 1929, when the author was 15 years old. In the movie the girl ages to 18. It is set in colonial era Vietnam.

- Ang Lee directed a movie called "Lust, Caution" which is a thriller ($15 million dollar budget). It is the only time that a movie with that kind of budget was not edited to get an R rating, but was released with an NC-17 rating. The foreign movie market is more understanding of movies with adult themes and they are not prohibited from being shown in many theaters. Only 147 theaters in the US would even show the movie (out of over 4000).

- Pedro Almadovar (the Spanish film director) makes movies that get an NC-17 rating. As a matter of fact, he is one of the reasons that there exists an NC-17 rating. Prior to that they would have to be rated X, and they wanted a rating for adult movies that were not pornographic. Tie me up, Tie me down (¡Átame!) is a good adult movie with p**n stars, bondage, masturbation, that is very witty and not pornographic. It features a young Antonio Banderas.

- Paul Veerhoven is famous in America for making the films (1992) Basic Instinct and (1995) Showgirls but watch the movie "The Fourth Man" which he made in the Netherlands before he came to the USA. Very violent, a lot of nudity,

- "Jamón, jamón" (1992) is one of Penelope Cruz's first movies shot in Spain. Bigas Luna her and Javier Bardem in a movie about ham and passion. They were recently reunited for Woody Allen's latest movie.
