Erotic Cinema, Caligula, Film Interpretation, Tinto BrassAbstract
The evolution of cinema has been triggering different types of film genres, and is that among all existing genres, there is a genre that has been a bit removed from the main lines of research in film, and therefore, does not have a large volume of literature that can suppose a good scientific base to continue growing academically speaking. The controversy between erotic and pornographic cinema has been present throughout the history of cinema, both genres being badly seen. For this we have developed an interpretive process accompanied by a file to analyze the selected scenes. Tinto Brass makes an exquisite use of voyeurism in the spectator, showing sex as an artistic way to show the reality on the big screen of his work Caligula. Therefore in the viewer gets reflected and meditate on the great difference between the contemplative enjoyment of a nude or a sexual relationship with broad dramatic, aesthetic and human meanings. With all this, finally Caligula can be classified as softcore cinema.
