Description

Scandinavian Blue: The Erotic Cinema of Sweden and Denmark in the 1960s and 1970s This book explores the development of modern Scandinavian erotic cinema, tracing its evolution from gentle Swedish naturalist films to the more provocative works of the 1960s and 1970s. The author examines the impact of these films on the film industry, particularly in Denmark and Sweden, and their influence on the sexual revolution in the United States. The book delves into the cultural and historical context of Scandinavian erotic cinema, including the abolition of censorship in Denmark and the emergence of "Liberated Denmark" in the early 1970s. It also considers the global reach of these films, and their contribution to the changing attitudes towards sex and censorship in the film industry. By examining the history of Scandinavian erotic cinema, this book provides a unique insight into the cultural and social changes of the 1960s and 1970s, and their lasting impact on the film industry.
