This talk regards Jane Campion’s exemplary approach to crafting sex scenes in ways that confront gendered dynamics of power and (visual) pleasure, focusing on the trio of films Campion chose to make in the wake of receiving global acclaim for The Piano (1993). Viewing The Portrait of a Lady (1996), Holy Smoke! (1999), and In the Cut (2003) as an unofficial trilogy, considered within the entwined contexts of pre-/post-9/11 gender anxiety and surveillance culture and of feminist genre revisionism, I explore how these works encapsulate Campion’s singular approach to screening sex.
