So the following 10 films are at least as much illustrations of social and historical trends as they are defining examples of cinematic eroticism in their own right. Such reviews are unlikely to have anyone rushing to their local Waterstones, but Dr Merve Emre, an author, critic, and associate professor of English at the University of Oxford, points out that erotica as a genre has much to offer readers beyond James's red room of pain.
