You mention your experience when you saw The Piano. This movie was directed by a woman, Jane Campion.
I agree with you - that scene was powerfully erotic. I remember squirming in my seat when I saw it (it was a good thing that the friends I saw it with were all women!).
Perhaps it was because we could experience the scene from a woman's perspective that it affected us so much. She was putting us in that scene! We could feel it!
I don't know if there are many other women out there who have directed such effective love scenes. It would be interesting to see the outcome of their work. Or perhaps this was a one-off!
