Swept Away (1979) A male Southern European follower of the Communist Party and a Northern European wife of a bourgeois are shipwrecked. At first she insults working class people, but then she becomes a slave to the sailor. Finally he assaults her sexually, yelling political statements. She discovers that rape is what she wants; she likes being "mastered" with reference to "primitive" impulse. The enslavement scenario is typical eroticizing of violent domination and other power. The movie makes the audience accomplices to the enjoyment of sexual violence. Unfortunately realistic: love of power is conflated with "natural" love under capitalist patriarchy, and movies like this one help perpetuate the problem.
