Eroticism is a state of mind rather than a state of undress, and in that regard, it's not much different from romanticism, its partner-in-sublime. On the silver screen, it can be presented to us in the most subtle of ways, particularly when the film's protagonists exist in a society or period known for its repressive airs.
