Maewyn, you saw The Piano? It sounds as though our reactions were very similar. No wonder we like the same erotic fanfic!
But, as your post implies, maybe it does take a woman director to pull off a really good love scene -- just like women fanfic writers write the best erotica.
I haven't watched any others of Jane Campion's films. Have you? I never did watch The Piano again, you know. The rest of the story was too angst-ridden and traumatic for me to want to undergo it twice, even though it had a relatively happy ending. I felt terrible for her husband, even though they were no match.
